Methods of Practice

• There are three main Methods of Practice
• Gradual Build Up
• Whole-Part-Whole
• Repetition Practice

5
Gradual Build Up

• The skill is broken down into small parts and is
  learned in stages.
• Once a stage has been practiced and mastered then
  the learner moves to the next stage.
• The learner knows they have mastered a stage if
  they complete it successfully 3 times in a row.
• Each stage is harder than the one before as it
  contains more subroutines and is more like the
  whole skill.

6
Benefits of Gradual Build Up

• It breaks complex (difficult) skills down into
  smaller parts which are easier to learn than the
  whole skill at once.
• Each stage is challenging yet achievable.
• It builds the performers confidence.
• It makes dangerous skills safe to learn.

7
Task

• Put the following Gradual Build Up stages in
  order.
• Remember each stage should get more difficult and
  more like the whole skill.

Why do we want to improve our Handstand Forward
Roll?

• The handstand forward roll is a complex skill.
• My routine now contains more complex skills with
  high tariffs that are performed with control and
  fluency allowing me to gain a higher mark.
• Being able to perform the skill automatically
  allows me to perform it to a high level without
  thinking about it. This allows me to focus on
  forthcoming skills to ensure they are executed
  with control and fluency.
