ADAPTATION Activities can be adapted in many ways. The intention in making any of the changes to activities is that your skill development can benefit from the changes.

ADAPTATION Give examples of how you would adapt both Individual and Team activities using all of the examples on the previous page. What is the benefit of the adaptation you have made? E.g. Basketball limit the sides to 3 v 3. Players get more touches of the ball, thus giving them a chance to improve their skills. Badminton increase the amount of players 1 v 2. I played against 2 players to work on trying to improve my smash. I had to be accurate or my smash would be returned.

Sometimes the normal rules of an activity can be changed in order to make some important points clearer. This is sometimes referred to as a conditioned game. The condition should help you practise in a game setting the skills and technique which you have developed in practice. CONDITIONED GAMES

Example Lay-up practice in Basketball. During the game 4 points could be given to a team if they score with a lay-up. This would encourage players to try and use what they developed during their practice in a game situation. CONDITIONED GAMES
