VOLLEYBALL

1. VOLLEYBALL

2. SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES • A SKILL • Is an action that we use in an activity • Cartwheel, passing, shooting are all examples of skills • TECHNIQUE • Is the way in which a skill is performed • Examples of different volleyball serving techniques; • Over arm service • Underarm service

3. EASY AND COMPLEX SKILLS • Easy Skills have; • Few subroutines • Physically undemanding • Little co-ordination • Simple order of movements • One movement at a time • Easy environment

4. EASY AND COMPLEX SKILLS • Complex Skills have; • Many subroutines • Physically demanding • Good co-ordination • Complicated order of movements • Many movements at the same time • Difficult environment

5. STAGES OF LEARNING • There are 3 important stages in learning and developing skills; • Planning stage (Cognitive) • Practice stage • Automatic stage • REMEMBER When DESCRIBING a skill we use PAR (preparation, action, recovery) see your notes on this in your Swimming lectures

6. PLANNING STAGE • Find out what the skill involves • Establish all the parts of the skill • First attempts at skill • Many errors • Cognitive process

7. PRACTICE STAGE • Linking all the parts together of the skill • Simple skill require less practice than complex skills • Less errors during performance at this stage

8. AUTOMATIC STAGE • No errors • Key parts automatic therefore able to link various other skills together • Basketball lay up requires speed, power to jump whilst dribbling, jumping, holding the ball and hitting a target.

9. AUTOMATIC STAGE • No errors • Key parts automatic therefore able to link various other skills together • Basketball lay up requires speed, power to jump whilst dribbling, jumping, holding the ball and hitting a target.

10. METHODS OF LEARNING • WHOLE-PART-WHOLE • Used by performers who already have experience of that activity/skill • Used with simple skills • Perform skill, identify weakness, practice that weakness then perform whole skill again • For example; Whole – swim frontcrawl, Part- arms not entering water straight, use float to isolate arms no legs, Whole- practice full stroke again

11. METHODS OF LEARNING • GRADUAL BUILD-UP • Used to learn complex(difficult) skills • Learnt in stages, with each stage moredemanding and required to be mastered before moving onto the next • Learner can therefore concentrate on onepart of the skill at a time before moving on • An example from basketball lay up; 1) shot from 1 step and jump shoot, 2) shot with 2 steps and jump shoot, 3) 1 bounce, 2 steps and jump shoot 4) dribble, 2 steps and jump shoot

12. SKILLS PRACTICE • Once you have learnt a skill you must practice it to help reach the automatic stage so you don’t have to think about it during the game • The better you are at the skill the more able you become to perform that skill under pressure • Once a skill is automatic you can think ahead to your next action

13. SKILLS PRACTICE • A player will use a series of drills to concentrate on the skill • These drills will become harder so that the skill becomes more ‘game-like’ • If practice sessions are too long problems occur; • Tiredness drop in performance levels. Make sure sessions are not to long and are broken into short sections with rest periods. • Boredom loss of concentration and performance drops. Vary practices and don’t make then too long

14. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES • For each type of activity people are required to take different roles. • A ROLE is the part that a person plays in an activity. • Different roles have different requirements to fulfil that role – these are your responsibilities!

15. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES (PERFORMER) • When performing as an individual or as part of a group/team, you must understand your responsibilities to perform that role to the best of your ability. • Some players will have more Defensive roles where as others will be required to Attack within a team formation. • The individual role you adopt is dependent upon many factors; • Physical Fitness/Qualities • Skill Related Fitness • Skill levels • Decision making qualities • Personal qualities

16. ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES (DIFFERENT ROLES) • Your SGPE course will require you to adopt a range of different roles in addition to being a performer. • Official • Responsible for activity taking place within the rules, the score is correct and players are treated equally • Coach • Person who works on the skill level and works out tactics for that activity • Helper • Feed the ball/shuttle to help partner practice skills • Opponent • Act as an opponent so skills can be practiced in game like situations • Can you name the different roles and responsibilities you encountered during your Volleyball block? • Scorekeeper, Timekeeper, Supporter ect.

17. PARTNER EVALUATION I know this is an action shot from Basketball but it breaks down the skill to help you evaluate. Compare To Model Performance Suggest Improvements performance Check For improvements Watch performer ‘Positive’ Feedback On good points
