Miller Wall Volley

Test for Badminton

Submitted To: - Dr. Gaurav Singh Submitted By: - Mayank Kumar


The Miller Wall Volley Test was created by F. Miller in 1951 for
badminton to measure a player's coordination, racquet control,
reaction time, and endurance. Here's the adapted version:
Equipment Needed
 A badminton racquet
 A shuttlecock
 A smooth, flat wall
 Tape or chalk to mark a target area on the wall
 A stopwatch or timer
 Stairs
Setup
1. Target Area:
o Mark a rectangular target area on the wall,
approximately 15 feet high and 10 feet wide, then a 1 -
inch line is drawn at a height of 7 feet 6 inches from
and parallel to the floor.
o Adjust the height or size for di erent skill levels (e.g.,
smaller for advanced players).
2. Starting Position:
o A line is drawn on the floor 10 feet from the wall and
parallel to it.
1. Starting the Test:
o The participant starts with the shuttlecock in hand.
Using the racquet, they hit the shuttlecock against the
wall aiming for the target area.
2. Volleying:
o The player must keep the shuttlecock in play,
continuously hitting it within the target area without
letting it touch the ground.
o Optional Challenge: Alternate between forehand and
backhand strokes.
3. Duration:
o The test runs for a specific time, typically 30 seconds
to 1 minute.
o There is a 30 second rest in between every round.
o Every player gets 3 rounds(trials).
Scoring
1. Primary Score:
o Count the total number of successful hits (volleys)
that land within the target area.
2. Deductions:
o Subtract for:
 Missed volleys.
 Hits outside the target area.
 Shuttlecock touching the ground.
3. Bonus Points (optional):
o Award extra points for alternating forehand and
backhand volleys or for targeting specific zones within
the rectangle.

Skill-Level Adjustments
 Beginner: Allow a larger target area and focus on
maintaining continuous volleys, using only forehand strokes
if needed.
 Intermediate: Reduce the target size and require alternating
strokes.
 Advanced: Use a smaller target, add precision challenges
(e.g., only the top corners count), and test for higher speed
and accuracy.

Purpose for Badminton Players


 Hand-eye Coordination: Trains precision and timing for
returning the shuttlecock.
 Racquet Control: Enhances stroke consistency and
technique.
 Reaction Speed: Sharpens the ability to adjust quickly to
shuttle trajectory changes.
 Stamina and Focus: Measures the player’s ability to sustain
concentration and performance over time.
