Image result for stephen curry jumpshotThe movement skill I have chosen for this skill acquisition/learning program is the Basketball ‘Jump Shot’. This skill would be classed as an ‘open skill’ as it falls under the definition of “the surrounding environment is constantly changing and generally unpredictable’’ – Moodle Theory Class 2. This is context of a jump shot in a basketball game. The following sessions will be under a mixture of both ‘open’ and ‘closed’ environments, as some sessions will be in predictable settings, and not simulating in game situations. The jump shot would be classed as a movement that uses the whole body from the large muscles to the smaller fine muscles, so it doesn’t directly fit on one side of the continuum of gross or fine skills. I am not too familiar with the Basketball ‘jump shot’, which leads me to believe I will go through both cognitive, associative, but not the autonomous stage, as this movement is classed as complex.

Session 8 - Two Dribble Pull Up - April 22nd Design of Session:  Dribble and Jump Shot. ILoveBasketballTV. (2016). 1) Start just above the 3-point line, standing in the triple threat position.  Facing towards the rim from a diagonal position. 2) First dribble towards the rim, and with your second dribble, regather the ball with two hands, and in a squared shooting position (like the triple threat, but not as bent at the knees). 3) With the ball coming up on the second dribble, grip the ball and follow its motion upwards, with your jump shot in a controlled manor. You should be squared towards the rim, and the motion should feel natural. 4) All shots should be in the mid-range area, take 20 shots on 5 different mid-range locations.  The following session will follow a block practice design, McAllister, L. S. (2012).   Which is useful for skill acquisition. Which includes repetition and isolated segments. Repeating something over, and o...

Session 6 - Around the World - April 16th Design of Session:  Around the world drill. Hull, L. (2014).                                                                               1.Two players line up on other ends of the key, starting closest to the rim.  2) If you shoot and make the shot, advance to the next spot, wait for the other player to shoot before you make your next shot. (check appendix to see diagram of drill) This session will follow a distributed practice design influenced by Foxon, F. (2001). which                provides more frequent and longer rest intervals between practice periods (waiting for opposing          player to shoot). Distributed practice also facilitates longer term learni...

\ Session 1 - Triple Threat - April 1st  Design of Session: Gripping the ball, and footwork Gels J. (2017).              1.Catch a basketball with two hands indicating where you want the pass to go. 2) Catch the ball in the correct triple threat position with feet in a stable position (shoulder width apart) and knees bent at 45 degrees.3) Practice without the ball, then introduce the ball. 4. After learning this skill, practice shooting a foot from the rim, focusing on the movement and preparation of the shot.  This session will follow a modelling design (Harmon K, Marzano R J. 2015) I have asked a skilled basketball player friend to demonstrate how to perform the skill prior, so I can model his movements. References Informing Design: This information was sourced from the following online article: Gels, J. (2017). Basketball Jump Sh...
