2.1 - Classification of skills
Learning objectives
To be able to describe the different types of skill classification.
To be able to categorise sporting events on a skill classification continuum.
To understand the types of practice using by coaches.
To apply knowledge of practices to different sporting activities.
Classification of skills
How are sports skills classified?
Skill differs from ability in that it is not innate, skills are learnt.
Classification of skills
They are developed from ability after a period of practice.
To produce a skilled performance, the player must practise so that the required abilities are enhanced.
Skills are usually classified on a sliding scale called a continuum. This is a visual guide to indicate where a skill fits into a specific category.
Classification of skills
A continuum is a line that goes between two
extremes
You will need to learn three continua

An open skill is one that is affected by the sporting environment. The performer has to make decisions in response to their surroundings. Rugby tacklingDribbling in football and passing in hockey
A closed skill involves less decision making because it has a predictable environment. The performer can take their time to execute the skill. Taking a penalty in football, free throw in basketball and serving in squash and tennis
OPENCLOSED
Skill Classification – Open/Closed
Can you name other skills and where would they fit on the continuum?Draw out a continuum and write your skills on there
Lots of skills can be grouped together from lots
of different sports
In your exam it
will be your job
to decide
which skills are
open and
which are
closed
From this picture- pick out a closed skill and an
open skill
Answer the following question on whiteboards:
• What is a definition of a continuum?
Answer:
- A line that goes between two extremes.
You do
Answer the following questions on whiteboards:
• What are open skills?
• What types of things affect how a performer executes an open skill?
You do
Answers:
• What are open skills?
- skills that are affected by the surrounding environment
• What types of things affect how a performer executes an open skill?
- opposition, teammates, weather, playing surface
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard.
• Are these open or closed skills? Explain your answer.
- a pass in hockey
- dribbling in football
- a rugby tackle
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard.
• Are these open or closed skills? Explain your answer.
- a pass in hockey
- dribbling in football
- a rugby tackle
They are open skills because execution of the skill needs to be adapted according to the opposition and teammates move, to the weather conditions and to the playing surface.
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Explain why a penalty kick in football, a gymnastic vault and a tennis serve are all closed skills
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Explain why a penalty kick in football, a gymnastic vault and a tennis serve are all closed skills
There is a limit how much the environment is affecting the execution of the skill
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Which skill is more open from the following? A penalty kick in football or a penalty kick in rugby
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Which skill is more open from the following? A penalty kick in football or a penalty kick in rugby
- A penalty kick in football is more open than a penalty kick in rugby because the goalkeeper can affect how the football player takes his kick whereas none of the opposition in rugby can affect the kick.
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Draw a open/close skill continuum line like this:
Open Closed
• Now place three skills from football on the continuum:
i) Goalkeeper saving a penalty
ii) Forward taking a penalty
iii) Midfielder dribbling the ball
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Draw a open/close skill continuum line like this:
Open Closed
Midfielder
dribbling
the ball
Goalkeeper
saving a
penalty
Forward
taking a
penalty

Continuum 2
“A continuum is a line that goes
between two extremes”
A complex skill involves a high level of decision making and has a large cognitive or thinking element to it. E.g. lay up in basketball/passing a relay baton and getting past a defender.
Simple skills have a limited amount of information to process. The skill has a smaller cognitive element. E.g. running, cycling and chest pass
COMPLEXBASIC/SIMPLE
Skill Classification – Basic/Simple & Complex
Can you name other skills and where would they fit on the continuum?Draw out your continuum and write them on there
Answer the following questions on whiteboards:
• What are basic skills?
They are simple and require little thought. They don’t require cognitive process and little decision making
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard.
• Are these basic or complex? Explain your answer.

Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Explain why running, cycling and swimming are all basic skills
These skills are all basic skills as they require little thought and decision making. They do not need much information to be processed.

Low
Organisation
High
Organisation
A low organised skill can be broken down into parts, or subroutines. Set shot and triple jump.
A highly organised skill is hard to break down since it is fast in its execution. Golf swing and summersault.
Skill Classification – Organisation
Can you name other skills and where would they fit on the continuum?Draw out this continuum and label them on
LOW ORGANISED HIGH ORGANISED
Answer the following questions on whiteboards:
• What are High Organisation skills?
High Organisation skills are those that are harder to do. They have phases but they are not clearly broken down without effecting the skill. This makes is really hard to practice
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard.
• Are these Low or high Organisation skills? Explain your answer.
Tennis serve
Triple jump
Long jump
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard.
• Are these Low or high Organisation skills? Explain your answer.
Tennis serve
Triple jump
Long jump
All of these skills are low organisation. They have clear separate phases, making them easier to break down and easier to do.
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Explain why a golf swing and a somersault in gymnastics are high organisation
You do
Answer the following question on whiteboard/in your book.
• Explain why a golf swing and a somersault in gymnastics are high organisation
They are harder to do and are not clearly broken down without affecting the skill. They are hard to practice without doing it all together.
You do
Exam practice- I do and we do
Give one example of a closed skill and briefly explain why it falls into this classification. (3)
A vault in gymnastics is a closed skill. This is because the gymnast decides when to start (1), and therefore they can pre-plan the vault (1) As the opposition does not have direct contact, the skill does not need to be adapted (1)
Now you have seen a modelled answer, what would you give for this question?

A) Running on a track
B) Swimming in a pool
