In today's lesson, we will explore the fundamentals of skills and techniques in sports. Learn to distinguish between simple and complex skills, and understand how these contribute to athletic performance. We'll define what makes a skill, examine examples like passing and shooting, and breakdown the cognitive, practice, and automatic stages of skill acquisition. By the end, you'll be able to identify simple and complex skills, recognize their significance in performance, and appreciate the learning stages athletes go through to refine their techniques.

Standard Grade PE Skills and Techniques
Learning Outcomes Today we will learn: • What is a skill • What is a technique • How to describe the difference between a simple and a complex skill • How simple and complex skills can aid performance • The stages of learning skills
Passing Shooting A skill is a movement With a purpose Dribbling Catching Skills & Techniques A technique is a way Of performing a skill Chest pass Layup Skill: Shooting Skill: Passing Bounce pass Jump shot
Show me…… • An activity • A skill from that activity • 2 techniques for performing that skill
Simple skills Simple skills can be defined as: • Having fewer sub routines (parts of the skill) • Not physically demanding • Little co-ordination needed • Simple order of movements
Simple Skills HIGH SERVE CHEST PASS PUSH PASS SIMPLE SKILLS SET SHOT HEADING HEAD- STAND
e.g. Lay-up in Basketball Physically Demanding Many Sub-routines Many judgements COMPLEX to be made SKILLS Co-ordination is vital Many movements at the same time Complex Skills
High jump Basketball lay-up Volley Goal Keeper save Butterfly stroke Complex Skills
Show me…… • 3 simple skills – 2 reasons why they are simple • 3 complex skills – 2 reasons why they are complex
Simple Skills, how can they help your performance?? Example: • Activity: Badminton • Simple skill: Short Serve • I was able to serve the shuttle just over the net so that my opponent had to lift the shuttle up and I was able to smash easily to win the point.
Complex Skills, how can they help performance? Example: Activity: Volleyball Skill: Spike How did this help performance? When my team mate set the ball up for me I was able to time my run up and spike the ball powerfully into my opponents court, making it very difficult for them to return.
To develop complex skills, we must make practices progressively harder.... Example: Overhead Clear • Initial practice: I stood at the back of the court whilst my partner hand fed 20 high feeds above my head for me to step in and clear. • More demanding practice: I started at base and my partner high served (20 feeds) to the back of the court. I had to side step quickly to perform the clear and return to base after every shot.
Stages of Learning • Cognitive stage – beginner • Practice Stage – Intermediate • Automatic stage – Expert!
Automatic Performers • When a skill can be performed with little or no conscious thought and at a high level of speed, control and accuracy it is said to be automatic to the performer. • A performer may use a pressure practice at the automatic stage of learning who can cope with the game like pressure and demands of the situation.
Advantages of being able to perform automatically • You can perform skills effectively/successfully without having to think about it • You can perform skills accurately without hesitation • You can think about other things as you perform the skill • Skill level remains high/consistent under pressure • Can respond quickly/appropriately to position of goals/opponents/team mates/ball • You can identify and correct my own errors
