Associative Stage
During the associative stage you link together all the
subroutines and practice the skill using a variety of
practice methods.

Appropriate practice will gradually reduce the
number of mistakes made during performance. As Difficulty of
performance improves the difficulty of practices will practice
gradually increase.
Performance Level
Your level of performance will determine how quickly you
progress through the practices. To ensure you move on
at the correct time you could have specific success
criteria to achieve before you move on.
To avoid boredom and ensure high quality practice it is important to vary
your practice. If you repeat the same thing over and over again you will
become bored, disinterested and your level of performance will decrease.

Q. What does Repetition practice involve?
Repetition practice involves setting up drills which require you to repeatedly practice a particular
part of the overhead clear or the whole technique itself.
Q. Use the first two repetition drills to complete the paragraph below?
For example my initial repetition drill involved my partner feeding the shuttle high above me so I
could repeatedly play an overhead clear. At first I started in the back tramlines meaning I didn’t
have to move into position allowing me to repeatedly practice the action + recovery phases of the
skill. As my performance improved I had to move from base position to the rear of the court to
return the shuttle.
Q. Fill in the blanks?
During repetition practice the intention is to grove the skill. It is vital that movements are performed
repeatedly until the movement is grooved into the muscles memory.
Work to Rest Ratio
In order to groove the skill it is vital that the skill is performed repeatedly, however for practice to be
effective you need to consistently perform the skill to a high level. For this reason it is vital to
ensure adequate work to rest ratios are used. For example 10 overhead clears would not be
enough, but 30 would be to many so you would perform 3 sets of 10.

My answer to previous slide
Combination Practice
Combination practice involves setting up drills which require you to link your overhead
clear with other shots to play a specific sequence of shots.
For example our initial combination drill required two feeders. Feeder 1 dropped the
shuttle over the net, bringing you into the net to play a net shot. Feeder 2 on the
other hand served high to the rear tramlines allowing you to play an overhead clear.
As performance improved the practices became more game like. A later stage of
the practice involved three feeders. Feeder 1 served to the back left of the court,
feeder 2 played a drop shot and feeder three served to the back right hand corner.
During combination practices the aim is to continually play the cycle of shots effectively
a set number of times. If any errors occur, for example a poor feed, you would stop
and restart from the beginning. This is more effective than carrying on with a broken
practice – playing the wrong shot or playing a shot incorrectly.
For the overhead clear to be considered as successful it had to land within a meter of
the back tramlines. During the initial stages this had to be achieved 3/5 times as the
practices became more difficult the success criteria increased to 7/10 overhead
clears.

Pressure Drills
Once the movement patterns of the overhead clear have been established and your performance
of the skill has begun to move towards the automatic stage it is important to increase the
pressure to ensure the demands of practice are specific to your performance level and that
practice becomes increasingly more game like. Pressure can be gradually increased as your
level of performance increases. The chances of a skill becoming automatic are greatly
increased after pressure training.
Initially we used repetition pressure drills which required you to repeatedly perform overhead clears
while under pressure from two feeders. Pressure was increased by decreasing the time
interval between feeds forcing you to move to and from base quicker – reducing the time you
had to move into position.
As your performance improved we progressed to using combination pressure drills, which required
you to perform an overhead clear along with a net shot in pressured situations.
