UNIT 27: TECHNICAL & TACTICAL
SKILLS IN SPORT
UNIT INTRODUCTION
• To
assess the technical and tactical skills of yourselves and others,
and plan your own development.
• Look at the technical skills and tactics required in selected sports.
• Look at professional sports performers and their abilities in the
areas their sports demand.
• Examine your own abilities in competitive situations over a period
of time.
• Look at your development, technically and tactically.
ASSIGNMENTS
• Assignment 1: Produce a poster explaining the
technical and tactical demands of three
different sports.
• Assignment 2: Create an observation checklist
and observe the performance of an elite sports
performer, describing their strengths and areas
for improvement.

personal development plan for yourself.
TECHNIQUES OF SPORT
Unit 27: Technical & Tactical
Skills in Sport
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the lesson you must be able to;
1. Describe the difference between a technique & a skill
and provide examples.
2. Describe what is a fine skill and what is a gross skill.
3. Categorise fine and gross skills and some will provide
justifications.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TECHNIQUE
& SKILL?
What do you think is the
difference between a
technique and a skill?
Write down your
definition
DEFINITION OF A TECHNIQUE & A SKILL
TECHNIQUE – Techniques are the
basic movements of any sport or event
e.g. a block start in a 100 metre race
is a technique. We combine a number
of techniques into a pattern of
movement e.g. triple jump - running
and then the hop, step and jump
phases.
SKILL – Skill is an athlete's
ability to choose and perform
the right techniques at the right
time, successfully, regularly
and with a minimum of effort.

FINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS
Motor skills are all about the movement of the body.
There are two different types of motor skills:
Gross motor skills are major bodily movements,
normally associated with:
 Strength
 Endurance
 Power
Sporting examples are; jumping to catch a ball, running
up as a fast bowler.
Fine motor skills require small muscular movements.
They include small, precise movements that take a lot of
time to learn, practice and refine.
Sporting examples are; Spin Bowling, Snooker, Darts.
FINE AND GROSS MOTOR SKILLS CONTINUED
Usually sport specific skills are not define as just gross or just
fine. We must place them on a scale to see how much the skill is
fine or gross.
E.G.…A goalkeeper coming to collect a cross from the air…
Fine…………………………..……X……….Gross
WHERE WOULD YOU PLACE THESE MOTOR SKILLS
ON THE SCALE?

Unit 27: Technical & Tactical
Skills in Sport
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the lesson you must be able to;
1. Describe what is a continuous skill and provide
examples.
2. Describe what is a discrete skill and provide examples.
3. Describe what is a serial skill and provide examples.
4. Be able to breakdown a skill.
CONTINUOUS, DISCRETE AND SERIAL SKILL
Continuous Skill: An action that is repeated over and over such as running,
swimming, cycling.
Discrete Skill: The opposite of continuous skills. They have a clear beginning
and end like a serve in tennis. The skill is repeated once complete. Discrete
skills are broken down into 3 phases like this…
 Preparation – Include the ball toss, the back swing, looking at the ball.
 Execution – The action of hitting the ball – swing the racket forward,
straightening of the arm in a throwing action, etc
 Recovery – The follow through of the hitting arm, as it bends in front of
the body, the position of landing, etc.
Serial Skill: A group of discrete skills strung together to make a new and
complex movement. i.e. the sequence of skills for the triple jump.
Which is this?
ACTIVITY - VIDEO
Write down the techniques you witness within
the video. You will then be given a quiz to
assess how much information you have
gathered.

List strategies that can counter the following …
• Good pitch for spin bowlers
• Chasing down a big score of over 600

on the last day of the test)
FACTORS THAT AFFECT PERFORMANCE OF
TECHNICAL SKILLS
In your workbook, complete Task Two
Write down the specific factors that can affect performance in
2 different sports
For example:
Climate can affect performance in football as players may be
used to certain climates. Hotter temperatures may cause fatigue
at a rate that is earlier than usual e.g. David Beckham at the
2006 World Cup
EXTENSION: Give an example of when this has happened
FACTORS THAT AFFECT TACTICS
In your workbook, complete Task Three
Write down the specific factors that can affect tactics in sport
Use 2 different sports
For example:
The pitch is bobbly and uneven, which prevents teams from
passing. Tactics are then changed to a more direct style of
football to gain the best performance & result
EXTENSION: Give an example of when this has happened

OBSERVATION CHECKLISTS
Unit 27: Technical & Tactical
Skills in Sport
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the lesson you must be
able to;
1. Describe why we analyse
performance
2. Produce a performance profile for
tennis
3. Produce a performance profile for
football
OBSERVATIONAL ANALYSIS
 The perfect model is a mental image of the correct technique.
 Sometimes a video or photographic image can be used to compare with a live performance.
However, good coaches will know what they are looking for whenever they observe a
sportsperson perform and will be able to describe the perfect model when giving feedback.
 Whenever you analyse a performance you should look for strengths and weaknesses.
Once you are ready to provide feedback be sure to talk about the good things you have
seen before correcting any weaknesses.
 Beginners only need small amounts of feedback at key times. All performers should be given
time to consider their own feelings about the performance rather than being told what they
should think. Feedback should always motivate the performer as well as correct the
technique.

CLIENT OBSERVATION
Unit 27: Technical & Tactical
Skills in Sport
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of the lesson you must be able to;
1. Understand what notational analysis is
2. Create a tally chart for a football match
3. Observe the performance of a chosen
elite athlete
WHAT IS NOTATIONAL ANALYSIS?
 Hand notation is a system of
recording detailed analysis of a sport
and literally noting the data on a
sheet of paper using a predefined set
of symbols.
 Notation is a way of collecting data
and can be done by hand or with a
computer.
TALLY CHARTS
 Tally charts are used by observers to record
results of a specific performance
 Using the tally system to record your results is
faster than writing out words or figures all the
time
 If you record your findings in a tally chart,
the data is already collected into groups, and
you will not need to group it later on
ACTIVITY – TALLY CHARTS/FREQUENCY
ACTIVITY – TALLY CHART ANALYSIS
 Pick a player from the list
 You need to create a tally
chart that assesses the
player you have picked.
 REMEMBER to use
