Coordination is an important skill that children must learn and work to master. Some physical education activities promote this skill more than others. Activities that use paddles or rackets allow students to practice their hand-eye coordination and to master the skills necessary to hit a ball or other object accurately.

Paddle Battle

This activity allows children to practice and improve their coordination skills over time. Give each student a paddle and a ball. Each student bounces his ball off the paddle, propelling it upwards into the air. The ball should be kept in the air as long as possible with the student remaining within a specific 3 to 5 foot area. Students count how many times they can hit the ball before allowing it to fall. Another variation is for the students to try to keep the ball in the area for a specified amount of time, such as 30 seconds for younger kids and up to a minute for older kids.

Paddle Ball

Split the students into pairs and have them find a spot against the wall as far apart from other students as possible. Each student should have a paddle and each pair needs to a ball. Students take turns hitting the ball against the wall with their paddles, using both forehand and backhand techniques. This activity will help students to develop their hand-eye coordination and prepare them for participating in sports, such as racquetball and tennis.

Snatch and Strike

Spread hula hoops around the gym, one for each student. Fill half of the hoops with safe projectiles, such as foam balls or shuttlecocks. Students pair off, with one student in the empty hoop and the other in the hoop containing the projectiles. Using the requested technique--either backhand, overhand or underhand--the student in the hoop with the projectiles uses her paddle to hit one of the projectiles to her partner. If her partner can catch the projectile while keeping at least one foot in the hoop, that team gets a point.

Throwing

For this activity, students use paddles or rackets to throw items, rather than just using them to hit a ball or other projectile. Give students an item that will not bounce such as bean bags. The student then places this item onto his paddle and uses a side-arm motion to throw the bean bag. This requires a different motion that typical throwing would, working different muscles and developing a different area of coordination. Students should start from a specified distance from the wall and should aim to hit the wall in a specified location.

A spanking paddle

A spanking paddle is an implement used to strike a person on the buttocks. The act of spanking a person with a paddle is known as 'paddling'. A paddling may be for punishment (normally of a student at school in the United States), or as an initiation or hazing ritual.

  • 3Scope of use

Description[edit]

A paddle has two parts: a handle and a blade. Most paddles are designed to be held with one hand, but a giant paddle may be designed to be held with two hands.[1] The blade is typically 3 to 4 inches (100 mm) wide, 1/4-inch thick, and 1 to 3 feet (0.91 m) in length.

In the great majority of cases, the paddle is aimed at the recipient's buttocks. Less commonly, the back of the thighs might also be targeted.[2]

Paddles for use in schools are made of wood, or occasionally plastic.[3] Paddles used for school punishments may be roughly hewn from commonly available wood.[4] Occasionally, paddles may have holes drilled into them, so there is less air drag when the paddle approaches the buttocks, and produces more sting. The paddles used for fraternity and sorority initiation ceremonies are often professionally made and engraved with organizational symbols and slogans.[5]

History of the paddle[edit]

The paddle may have been originally invented for the punishment of slaves as a way of causing intense pain without doing any permanent damage to the recipient.[6] It is not only in former slave states that the paddle has been used in schools. It is not known why or exactly when it became the normal implement for corporal punishment in US schools. There are however instances of paddling using similar implements with individuals who were not slaves.[citation needed]

Paddling was mainly used in many parts of the United States (and still is, in a few areas) as a means to discipline misbehaving school students. Paddling has also been used in some homes to punish children.[7][8] The results of a national household survey indicate that paddling is a discipline technique that 10% of parents are 'very likely to use'. The percentage of parents who say that they are very likely to paddle increases to 12% when involving teenagers.[9]

Paddling as punishment in U.S. schools[edit]

The paddle is the almost invariable implement in US schools that still allow corporal punishment for student misconduct. Some paddles have traditionally had holes bored in them for aerodynamic effect,[10] but many schools nowadays prohibit the use of such paddles.[11][12]

Paddling typically causes a slight reddening of the skin but in some cases can cause bruises that are 'visible for approximately two weeks'.[13] Whether or not particular bruises constitute evidence of 'serious injury' or 'abuse'[14] or 'child maltreatment'[15] depends on individual circumstances and can ultimately be settled only by a court of law.

There have been cases in the past when paddling was administered incorrectly or excessively. Partly in order to avoid this danger, in the majority of U.S. schools, paddling is more strictly regulated than in the past, many schools publishing detailed rules in their student handbooks.[16] It is usually a requirement that a professional witness be present. Currently, there is often a maximum of three swats (or 'licks' or 'pops'). In the past, paddlings of up to 30[17] licks were not unknown, especially in rural schools.[citation needed] Practice has gradually moved from paddlings in the classroom or hallway to paddlings administered out of the sight of other students, typically in the principal's office. 'Hallway' paddlings could typically be seen by other students, administrators or even outsiders visiting the school.

In 1981, a 17-year-old student claimed bleeding wounds as a result of a school paddling.[18] It was alleged that the assistant principal who had administered the punishment had held and swung the paddle with two hands.[19] In order to prevent such claims, a school district currently may choose to require the handle of a spanking paddle to be 'just large enough for a normal one-hand grip'.[20] Or a rule might provide that the handle shall not be more than 4 inches (100 mm) long (just large enough to be held with one hand).[21]

In 1982, a nine-year-old student was hit with a wooden paddle that was cracked.[22] This caused a bleeding wound that became a permanent scar. To avoid this, nowadays some school districts have adopted rules which prohibit using paddles that have cracks in them. For example, the policies of Bloomfield School District provide that, 'Corporal punishment will be administered by spanking the buttocks of a student with a flat-surfaced paddle which is smoothly sanded and has no cracks or holes and that will cause no more than temporary pain and not inflict permanent damage to the body.'[23]

A paddling is typically administered with two or more school employees present. The student may be ordered to bend over a chair[24] or desk[25] and, in that position, receive the prescribed number of strokes of the paddle. Paddling usually occurs in an office but may sometimes occur in a hallway. The punishment is delivered across the seat of the student's trousers or skirt.

In order to avoid allegations of sexual abuse, many school districts require that a female teacher be present during the paddling of a female student.[26] A school might also recommend 'that female staff members administer corporal punishment to female students (middle and high school)'.[27] Or a school board might prescribe that a 'female principal(s) or designee shall spank or paddle female students' and that a 'male principal(s) or designee shall spank or paddle male students.'[28]

As of April 2011, 19 states allow corporal punishment in public schools. See School corporal punishment in the United States for further information.

Social discipline[edit]

  • Some university or college traditions enforce(d) rules by paddling offenders. In the University of Missouri until World War II,[29] any freshman found on the 'quad', the most prestigious square on campus, had to offer his 'insolent' posterior for punishment along a paddle line formed by swatting seniors.
  • Fraternities and sororities are commonly associated with paddling of members, especially new members or pledges, as part of their hazing rituals.[30][31] Due to modern anti-hazing laws[32] and regulations, this has declined. This subculture is peculiar to North America.[citation needed]

Other play and traditions[edit]

Practitioners of erotic spanking using a paddle

The paddle is also a favorite implement for non-disciplinary 'fun' spankings such as 'birthday spankings,' as also for paddle games (such as trading blows) or a spanking pyramid or paddle machine. A paddle machine can be used in conjunction with a spanking bench. Numerous celebrities, including Jessica Jaymes, Jennifer Krum, Haydn Porter, Tabitha Stevens and Victoria Zdrok, have mounted Howard Stern's spanking bench to be paddled by his paddle machine, the 'Robospanker'.[33] Paddles are also used by practitioners of erotic spanking.
