 MILLER WALL VOLLEY TEST - BADMINTON
INTRODUCTIONS:

The Miller Wall Volley Test was introduced in 1951 by F. Miller and
published in the Research Quarterly of the American Association for Health,
Physical Education and Recreation. The test was designed to evaluate a
participant’s object control skills, which are important for sports
performance.

PURPOSE: To measure the ability to use the clear shot and volley skill in
badminton
EQUIPMENTS:
• Shuttlecocks

• Rackets

• Score sheets and Stopwatches

• Wall

LEVEL AND GENDER: Players who have

developed volley skill college men and
women.

PROCEDURE: A 1-minute practice should

be given before the first trial, but not between trials. Owing to the fact that
a subject encounters difficulty when trying to look at the line on the floor
while watching the shuttlecock, it is suggested that a chalk line 3 inches back
from the 10-foot line be added, and the subject told to stay behind that line
if possible. This allows the foot to slide as much as 3 inches without
penalizing the person being tested. Any stroke may be used to keep the
shuttlecock in play. A “carried bird” or a double hit is counted as good if the
hit eventually goes on or over the 7 foot wall line.
 SCORING: An Accumulative number of hits made within 30 seconds is
the score for each individual trial. Three, 30 second trials are given. The score
consists of the sum of 3 trials.
