Wishing all a Happy Chinese New Year Day today !!! . Good morning CCC CATS trainees, Wishing all a Happy Chinese New Year Day today!!! It's great to find Keven-W returning to our CCC CATS today. .
Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 10-Feb-2013 (A Short Report) . Here is a short report for our Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 10-Feb-2013 (on Chinese New Year Day). It's great that Alexandra-K and Keven-W are back again. Don't know what happened to Tracy-T and Dominique?: They didn't show. At this CATS, we went through the topic on Chapter 16 - Level Doubles Match Tactics. Points to remember; * It's best staying at your 'front-and-back' position most of the time (because you are getting ready to attack). But to do so, you will need to keep the shuttlecock 'LOW' on your opponents' side of the net all the time. Therefore; (1) Doing the Low Service is better than the High Service. (2) Doing the Low Return of Service (to the Fore-Court) is better than doing the Lift (to the Back Tram-Lines). * If unable to do a good quality Return of Service the Fore-Court, do either the; (1) Dab (Chapter 7), or the (2) Pushshot (Chapter 9) Refer to Post #1. * If required to hit to the Back Tram-lines, do the Flick instead of the Lift (remembering the demonstration shown - giving less time for the back player to smash). * Whenever requiring to do the Lift Return of Service (allowing your opponent to smash), you will need to fall back to your 'Square Position'. Which side of the court (left or right) you should choose to return to? You should know it by now. * When playing a shot to your opponents' Fore-Court, you need; (1) to make contact with the shuttlecock high (the higher the better - remember the 'time-factor' demonstrated); and (2) to make your 'Maxima' on your side of the net (remember the higher, can be more acurrate - as demonstrated). * etc, etc, ...... Lunch after our session was held at; http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/eat-out/review/restaurant/dainty-sichuan-20130121-2d1w2.html It was rather busy there; Because many people were there for their Chinese New Year lunch. After lunch, Markus-H, Daisy-L, Mario-P and I went to see what was happening at Melbourne Chinatown. It was a festival, with many different stores there. We saw many different Lion Dances there, and a Dragon Dance. Below, I shall post out our next Booking List (for Sunday 17-Feb-2013) for trainees to book in. .

How to pick up the shuttlecock with your racket? . Some CCCers have asked me "How to pick up the shuttlecock with your racket?" Here is a video to watch; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zls0natZqFM At our CATS on Sunday, 17-Feb-2013, I shall give more info about this topic. .

Sunday 17-Feb-2013 is going to be a rather warm day . Yesterday, Thursday 14-Feb-2013, it was also a rather warm day while I was coaching at Caulfield Grammar School. Students kept refilling their drinking bottles for drinks, to keep rehydrated (to replenish their body fluids). May I remind that our CCC CATS trainees to not to forget to brink your water bottles for our coming session on this warm/hot CCC CATS on Sunday 17-Feb-2013. .

Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 17-Feb-2013 (A Short Report) . Here is a short report for our Sunday CCC CATS at MSAC on 17-Feb-2013. We welcome sushmanemani (new BCer) attending her first CCC CATS. Hope that she has enjoyed herself. It's also great that we have Tracy-T and Chong-S back again. At this CATS, we went through the topic on Low Service for Doubles. Points to remember; * Know the Laws of Badminton governing 'Service' that I have explained. It's best to know/understand why BWF has made those laws - If you don't, let us start a conversation to explain it. Main points: (1) Doing the Low Service is better than the High Service. (2) For the Low Service, the Backhand Service is better than the Forehand Service. WHY? Time Factor is the main reason. (3) The length/distance between the 'Point of Impact' and your thumb control is best to be shortened for better feel. (4) Pushing the shuttlecock is more accurate (with more control) than hitting the shuttlecock. (5) 'Time Factor' is an important factor (allowing your receiver and you and your partner to play the next shot). (6) Directing your Service to just before the the Service Line (than to the Service Line) is better. WHY? It causes hesitation for the receiver. (7) Directing your Service to the Middle-T is better - It continues with you and your partner to be the the middle of the 'return-angle' when the return is made. (8) Flick Service is used only as an element of surprise. (9) etc, etc, ...... Perhaps for next week, we shall do the topic on DAB. Tell me what you CCCers think. Lunch after our session was held at Garamerica, an Indonesian restaurant; http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/71/760748/restaurant/Melbourne/Garamerica-South-Melbourne Mario-P (from Indonesia) knew what to order for himself; Chong-S (from China), knowing little about Indonesian food, allowed me (from Malaysia) to order a couple of dishes for her and me to share.
