Hsc Pdhpe: Core 2, Skill Acquisition Assignment
Netball Shooting
Shooting in netball is arguably the most important aspect of the game. Without it, the match wouldn’t reach an outcome and is essential to the functioning of the sport. However, to master such as skill like shooting, it requires plenty of practice. The acquisition of each skill is broken up into several stages each requiring different techniques in order to for the learner to the skill thoroughly.
*it should be noted that this skill is performed outdoors. Certain elements of skill acquisition would be altered if the skill was played on an indoor court.
Nature of the Skill
Not all skills can have one definitive classification; rather, they exist within a continuum. In other words, having elements of one category and other elements in the other. However, a skill can be generally classified as: - * Open or closed
The determinant when dealing with the open or closed nature of a skill is the stability of the environment where the skill is performed. When a skill is performed in an environment which is changing and unpredictable, it is said that it is an open skill. In comparison, a closed skill is when the surrounding environment is stable and predictable and at times, the variables can be control or dictated. As stated earlier, a skill can have a definitive classification. In this case, netball shooting (outdoors) could be classified closer to an open skill. This is mainly because players, especially shooters, would have to compete with weather conditions etc. For example, a goal shooter could deal with the sun blaring into their eyes, distracting their vision or the wind affecting the shot. * Fine or gross motor
Whether a skill is a fine or gross motor skill, it concerns the precision of the movement. A fine motor skill is where small muscle groups are used to perform a skill. Examples of fine motor skills are writing and throwing darts. On the other hand, gross motor skills are skills which require large muscle groups to produce movement.
