Skills and Techniques
Lesson One
Our aim during badminton…

Is to improve our performance by developing
our understanding of skills and techniques:
Decide exactly what a skill and technique are
 Investigate how to gather data on them
 Break them down
 Look as the stages we go through when learning skills
 Different methods of practice that help us develop /
learn skills
 The principles of effective practice
 Importance of feedback, concentration and motivation
in learning skills.

Voices on the table

Share with group
Favourite sport
 Favourite food
 Something you have watched on TV this week


Share with shoulder partner
Best thing watched on TV
 Explain why this was best thing watched

What are skills and techniques…
Skill

A skill is a series of linked
movements performed for
a purpose.

Skill describes the purpose
of linked sequences of
movement.
Technique

A technique is a way of
performing a skill.

A technique describes the
way a skill is performed.
Identify Skills and Techniques
In your own jotter using a T chart write
down as many skills and corresponding
techniques in one minute.

with
Skills can be a number of things

CLOSE
Skill Classification
Skills exist on a continuum between SIMPLE and COMPLEX:
Simple
Complex
Those which require little decision-making and only basic movements
are simple; those which require more thought and decision-making are
complex.
A number of factors determine whether a skill is simple or complex.
These include:
1. The amount of information to be processed
2. The number of decisions to be made
3. The speed at which information processing and decision-making
has to occur
4. The accuracy involved
5. The amount and type of feedback which is available
Watch the following skills.
As a group decide whether you
think they are simple or complex...
In Summary…
Easy Skill
Complex Skills
Few subroutines
Many subroutines
Physically undemanding
Physically demanding
Little coordination needed
Coordination vital
Simple order of movements
Complicated order of movements
Few movement at one time
Many movements at the same
time
Few judgements to be made
Many judgements to be made
Easy environment (e.g. good
weather conditions, no
opposition, safety equipment)
Difficult environment (e.g. poor
weather conditions, full
opposition, no safety equipment)
Skill Classification
Skills exist on a continuum between CLOSED and OPEN:
Closed
Open
Those which are unpredictable are open. Those which you are in
charge of carrying out are closed
For example in rugby no two tackles are ever the same. They will
differ depending on the size, speed and movement direction of your
opponent. For example a player goes to make a tackle on his
opposite number but his tackle is controlled almost 100% by whether
his opponent tries to pass him on the left or right or attempts to run
straight over him.
A forward roll in gymnastics is closed. In a forward roll you follow and
control a simple set of movements in order to carry out the
technique. There are few distractions or other factors to consider
when executing your performance.
Example of an open skill - Tackle
Badminton Skill Classification
In your group jotter place the badminton skills
from Task Sheet 2 (Stroke Effectiveness) in the
correct place / order.

Step One

How did we do this?
Analysis
Of
Overall
Performance
Discuss with your shoulder partner the steps we
took to gather initial data. Why could the data
be considered to be valid and accurate?
Step One

Compared my court
movement during
competitive games to that
of a model performer.

Assessed the variety and
effectiveness of my strokes
in a competitive game.
Analysis
Of
Overall
Performance
HOW assessed
Compared my court movement to
that of model performer.
WHY appropriate
By comparing performance to that of model
performer I can clearly identify my strengths and
weaknesses. Get accurate picture of my
development needs.
Provides permanent written feedback. Used to
retest. Assess how perform in game situation.
Specifically assesses court movement.
Assessed during three competitive
games, against opponents of
similar ability
Accurate, reliable data, true picture of ability, not a
one off performance, game isn’t to easy or
challenging, will be motivated.
Video recorded
Video allowed accurate completion of observation
schedule. Badminton is fast paced with video can
pause and rewind. Don’t miss anything. Get a true
reflection of performance.
Stroke Effectiveness Observation
Schedule
(Give performance examples of
what observation schedule
assessed)
Provided permanent written feedback. Used to
retest. Assess how perform in game situation.
Specifically assesses effectiveness of my strokes.
Clearly identify my strengths and weaknesses. Get
accurate picture of my development needs.
Homework

Due Tuesday 20th November
Complete the questions relating to gathering general
data in your data gathering booklet.
