Skills + Techniques

1. Skills + Techniques Help to plan practices

2. Hockey – Elimination Technique Preparation stage Fixed style Shadow Unopposed repetition Specific to skill being developed Predictable and certain which is required at stage of learning Focus attention on weakness Allows learning to take place Remove pressure demands / decision making from practice Easy to complete building confidence and kinaesthetic awareness Gain feeling for correct movements

3. Hockey – Elimination Technique Practice Stage Variable style Unopposed Repetition Opposed repetition (Pressure) Conditioned games Appropriate to progressed level of skill performance Consolidates and refines subroutines in more challenging context Unpredictable and uncertain which is required due to skill classification Decision making built into skill practice Begin to adapt technique to meet demands of variable practice Progresses skill development to be more like game More challenging which maintains motivation and interest in skill development Builds pressure into practice Identifies whether learned subroutines can be repeated under pressure Deception, timing and economy of effort all developed Develops a skilled performance

4. Hockey – Elimination Technique Automatic Stage Variable style Opposed repetition (Pressure) Small Sided Games Fine changes made to technical movements Refinement of actions in search for more efficiency Increases challenge to match performance requirements Development of creativity in variable context

5. Progression • Progression within the same method of practice – making the practice more difficult • Progression of the method of practice – follow the progressive order of the previous slides

6. How to fill in the plan • Organisation • A Diagram can help • Equipment needed • Description • WHO does what, from where, at what speed • Remember another classmate should be able to pick up your plan, read it and go set up the practice – without having to ask you questions
