Development of a Target Games-Based Badminton Dropshot Training Model for Beginner Players

Badminton is a sport that can be played using a racket and small ball called shuttlecock either single, double or mix double. The purpose of this study was a develop the basic techniques of dropshot in badminton using target games. The research method was research and development using Borg and Gall models. The proces of collecting data used observation, questionnaires, and documents. Model analysis techniques used (1) judgment expert; and (2) trial in small and large groups. The results show that that there are 21 variations of target game-based badminton dropshot training models for beginner players. The game-based dropshot training variations consist of 7 variations of easy category exercise model, 7 medium category exercise model variations, and 7 difficult category exercise model variations. So, the target game-based badminton dropshot training model that has been declared feasible by expert judgment can be used to train beginner palyers’ basic dropshot shot technique skills.
