  2. Practice Stages • There are three stages of practice.These are the:Cognitive stageAssociative stageAutomatic stage

  3. Cognitive Stage The cognitive stage is the first learning stage, and is where you would start if you were just beginning to practice new skills.There are a few practice methods within the cognitive stage that are aimed at beginners.These methods are relatively straight forward and comfortable for new players…

  4. Such practice methods include:Shadowing – practicing the new skill on your own by pretending to perform the skill. For example in badminton: striking a non-existant shuttle.Shadowing allows you to work on your PAR(preparation, action and recover) and your footwork without the worry of opposition or pressure. • Unopposed practice – non competitive, no pressure. Just perform the skill of your choice.Example: Badminton – feeder serves the shuttle and allows you to perform skill.

  5. Associative Stage • The associative is for practicing known skills to improve on them. You have picked up the basics and can perform the skill, but there are still some flaws here and there.The practice methods linked to this stage are more challenging and more game related…

  6. Such methods include:Opposed practice – playing against an opposition. This will include much more movement from the player, and will introduce them to competitive play.Drills – a drill is an activity containing a sequence of skills.Badminton drill example: High serve, overhead clear, overhead clear, drop shot. You will need 2 or more participants for drills.Drills can work on various skills at once. Relatively simple as the players know which shot is next and therefore have extra time to think about how to play the shot and their positioning.

  7. Automatic Stage • You have practiced and understand the skill well enough to be able to perform them at a high quality without having to think about the skill (performing the skill is automatic). Although you may perform the skill very well it is probably not perfect. To try and eliminate mistakes you should keep practicing.The practice methods for this stage are considerably more challenging and difficult than the other stages.

  8. Such methods include:Full games – practicing regular ruled matches in order to develop skills further through general practice. • Conditioned games – competitive matches with specific rules. For example a badminton game where you can only win points by a smash shot, or make the court smaller to force more accurate shots to win. Conditioned games can give a pleasant change to the way the players have to play. Use them for a harder challenge.
