Interteam Competition - Level 1
Inter Team Badminton.
The Year 7 and Year 9 Boys recently completed their Badminton schemes of work with the annual Inter Team competition. The pupil groups are joined together and the players are split into their teams (allocated at the start of school).
The Sports Hall is divided into 8 courts and each game is played over half court, this means that each fixture has 8 matches in it. Every player plays at least 2 matches and their score contributes to their overall team score.
The pupils each rated themselves on a score of 1 to 10 and then put the team into rank order so that the effectively became seeded – 1 being top and 10 being the lowest. Each game they played had to be against the same seed from the other team. This led to all experiencing a good standard of competition and many friendly rivalries being established. Due to the way that this was organised it resulted in many tight matches between the pupils.
The overall results were:
7A
Gold – Sydney
Athens – Silver
Atlanta – Bronze
4th Place – Beijing
