PAI3O2/PAI4O2 – Racquet Sports, Grade 11 or 12, Open Semestered 0.5 CREDIT
Racquet Sports is a course that allows you to participate in “social” sports. The course covers tennis,
badminton, table tennis, squash and pickle ball. A high level of skill in these sports is not required
to take the course; it is a way for you to learn how to play, for lifelong enjoyment. Basic concepts
(such as serves, forehand and backhand shots) transfer from one sport to the next. So do strategies
between the sports. Students will travel to the Cricket Club for squash and compete against each other
in friendly competition during the various sports. Additionally, there are classes of health and self-
defense. In health, there is a cumulative project of creating a “Teen Survival Kit.” In self-defense, you
will learn key points for protecting yourself.
