When a shuttle is high and deep, it reaches the peak of its flight and then descends straight down to the court. Your students can practice lifts the same way they practiced net shots. Have your students form either one or two lines at midcourt, stand on the opposite side of the net, and gently toss shuttles over the net. You should drill your students to do both forehand and backhand lifts. Be sure students are using the proper grip, ready position, footwork, and recovery to ready postion If you have students form two lines, you can alternate feeding to each line, so that one line is the forehand line and the other line is the backhand line.
Students can practice lifting the shuttle high to the back of the court.
You may want to have some students take turns standing on your side of the net. Two students at a time can retrieve shuttles for you, so you can feed continuously. If you are using two or more courts, you can also have students take turns feeding shuttles to each other. After some lift practice, your students will enjoy putting together a pattern of shots. This drill can accommodate four students at once.
