Kay Kay Moves to the Next Level in Badminton Class

Date:  June 8, 2015

Kay Kay used to use a no-name no-brand badminton racquet that I bought from Taobao China.

He gave away his junior racquet to his good buddy Colette.  So, he has to use that China racquet to start his badminton lesson.

Few days before May 20, Kay Kay uses his badminton coach’s badminton racquet and did pretty well in returning the shots.

So, he came back and tell me about it.

So, I decided to upgrade his badminton racquet.

He is now holding one of the lightest racquet available in the market produced by Lining sport, I think.

Last week, the badminton coach is testing his shot, and surprisingly to see that Kay Kay can hit back all the shots correctly with correct postures.

So, after that, she put him to the next level.  Which is a court just beside for students who knows how to hit the shuttlecock.  Jay Jay is on the third court which is level 3.

So, he felt so proud of himself and put in a lot of efforts learning together with the older ko-ko and jie-jie.

 He is happily learning new skills in this mid-level class.  By the time he reach P3, I suppose he will be much better commanding the racquet.  hahaha

All these ko-ko and jie-jie is much taller than him.  All of them is P1 to P6 level now.  That is why he is shortest among all of them.  He has not celebrate his birthday, that makes him 5.5 years old.  

Let’s see how he pick up this sport in future.

Kay Kay, 加油!

Badminton Diary: Lesson #3

Date:  Feb 16, 2013

Today is Saturday.  So, Jay Jay has his usual badminton lesson from Singapore Badminton School at Nan Hua Primary School.  I have changed his timing to 11am.  Where there are fewer students in this time slot.  I think the student to coach ratio is very important.  Today, we have 4 coaches teaching the kids.  This is Jay Jay new badminton outfit and pants.

The coach spent more time when the class size is smaller.  Unlike the 9am slot, usually has more than 10 students.  By committing to this time slot, Jay Jay can only have Saturday afternoon free now.  But this is chosen by him, and had nothing to do with me.  hahaha

This week, they teach forehand.  As you can see in the video, Jay Jay is learning to hit forehand.  Did not have much success though...

Today, there are two coaches teaching the beginner's class.  And it is very systematic.  So, the coach in black will teach them forehand, and then, they will will go to the plastics bag station to hit the hanging plastic bag.  Then, they bring their 10 shuttlecock to the coach in red, and practising hitting the shuttlecock.

WOW… HE hits almost 7-8 shuttlecock thrown to him and almost every return is approximate at the same locations.  I think the way he spent 2 hours like this learning, he should be able to play with me in few months time.  Cool!

As usual, once got time, he talks and talks and chit chat with girls.  hahahaha
