    Ok... this is going to sound ridiculous, but...

    I have missed seven days of my PE class this semester (right now my grade is a low C) and I have been assigned these worksheets to do to make up for the days of classed I missed (gym class is a joke). The worksheets are on various sports (none of which are baseball, basketball, football, or any other mainstream sports) and they are nearly impossible! :crying: I've been on the internet for over an hour and have only finished one (bowling) worksheet!

    So now I've decided to enlist the help of others. If anyone can answer these questions, please do so. It would mean a lot and help my grade out, not to mention save me hours of searching.

    d. It is firm but relaxed​



    12. Why is it desirable to hit overhead shots at the peak of a player’s reach? ​

    travel back to the net.​

    16. Which shots can be hit effectively from the backhand side?​
    a. Clear, smash, and drop​
    b. Drop, smash, and drive​

    d. To put opponent on the defensive​



    18. In men’s and women’s doubles, which system of doubles play is most​
    frequently used by tournament players?​
    a. Parallel​
    b. Up-and-back​
    c. Diagonal​

    19. What shot should be used to return a short, high serve?​

    Alright, that's it. If any of you know the answers, please help me out here and respond. Thanks!​

    My answer:

    11 d
    12 c
    13 a
    14 b
    15 c or d (according to myself :rolleyes: )
    16 c
    17 b
    18 d (if combination means a combo of various formation)
    19 b
    20 b

    Overall, I feel many of the questions are very poorly asked. Somehow, I think the one gives the questions, either did not think carefully (i.e. lack of real playing / coaching experience) or just think there's only 1 sure answer for certain questions (i.e. read a book, but ignore the fact that many different styels, etc)

    A sampel of meaningless question, "what xxxxxx stroke could be best used for?": To me, it's like ask a question, "what is a 3 pointer to be used for in basketball?". I can give u several answers, 1 to score points 2 to score points faster (if accurate) with less time 3 to "open" up for inside game, 4 to distract opponent's defense and open space for teammates... It's a COMBO!!! Not just 1 unique answer! :mad:
