Method

We apply three methods, which are internet, books, and interviews to do the research.

1. Internet

    We used many search engines, such as Yahoo, Google, Yam and Sinanet to search for the information.  After we typed the keywords, we did find some information.  However, there are really few people playing shuttleball so the information we acquired is limited.

2. Books

    There are rare books regarding to shuttleball available in Taiwan.  The information we could find from books is even less than that we found through internet.

3. Interviews

       We had interviews with the follow objects:  

(1).      The incumbent coach of Xisong’s shuttleball team

   We learned her opinions on the shuttleball team and had basic knowledge about shuttleball.

(2).      The incumbent section chief of P,E. in Xisong Elementary School

    We asked something about the shuttleball games, such as how many different kinds of games there are, what the shuttleball courts are like and so on.

(3).      The incumbent members of shuttleball team

    We asked them about how they feel about training, what they think about the coach, and how do they like shuttleball.

(4). To know more history about the shuttleball team in Xisiong, we interviewed some former coaches and section chief of P,E..  Besides, we interviewed the director of student affairs of Tanmei Elementary School, Mr. Teng, to understand the development of shuttleball in Tanmei.  We also interview some alumni who are still playing shuttleball now.  The last but not the least, master Min-shu Li, known as the Mother of Shutlleball, was our most important resource.

4. Experience

(1).     Observation on shuttleball team

    We observed how the shuttleball team train.

(2).      Trying to play shuttleball ourselves.

    We tried to play shuttleball ourselves to know how it feels and how great the shuttleball players are.
