Multi skill activities :
One of the advantages of teaching through
games is this capacity to design single
activities that include a number of skills.
It allows the coach to involve more players
in active learning experiences at the same
time.
Cricket task :
How to measure the following skills in a 6 ball over
- The on drive
- The off drive
- Back foot play
- Running between the wickets
- Bowling accuracy
- Attacking fielding and throwing
- Wicket keeping
What other match conditions would you change to measure :

Knowledge of ‘the’ Game is essential to..
..design an effective multi skill activity…..
WHERE the game scenario ‘STARTS’ from will provide a more realistic learning experience for the players
Eg ; what could you teach and measure here
- Final 9 overs of one day match
- Taking second new ball
- Kickoff restart from half way [rugby]
- Defensive scrum 10 metres out [rugby]
- Hitting a shot 65m over water to a fast sloping green on a par 5. [golf]
- Getting a turnover 90 m from goal [AFL]
- Two spinners operating on a turning wicket
Multi skill workshop example
In rugby, design one [1] activity that challenges and evaluates the following skills :
Starting the game from ? …………………..
- Line out throwing
- Line out organisation and jumping
- Half back passing on weak side
- Number 10 kicking ability
- Fitness
- Game pressure
Coaching activity plan
- Start from a lineout anywhere on field
- Hooker throws in to unopposed lineout
- Half back passes on’ weak’ side to 5/8
- 5/8 kicks for touch [measure distance]
- Forwards run to lineout and restart activity
- Repeat for 10 line outs….then :
Increase intensity by introducing :
- Opposition – lineout and defenders
- Wet ball
- Distances for 5/8 to kick
