Year 13 - Practical Portfolio - Tactical Analysis

ONLY START THIS ONCE YOU HAVE COMPLETED:

  • Rules, Regulations, Scoring systems of Volleyball & Football
  • Skills, Techniques and Tactics for Volleyball & Football
To reach the merit and distinction level in this unit, you must complete an in-depth tactical analysis of a team performance. The Zonal Marking website writes comprehensive reports on matches. Obviously, you do not have to go into such detail but read the analysis on the link below to give you an idea of what you should do:

http://www.zonalmarking.net/2014/04/14/liverpool-3-2-manchester-city-liverpool-start-superbly-city-respond-after-the-break/

Now, choose a match, find as much information and statistics on that match as you can and write a similar report using all the statistics and data you have collected. be sure to include:
  • Team Line-Ups
  • Formations - did it change throughout
  • Tactics
  • Substitutions
  • Analysis of key moments - good attacking play/poor defensive play


A good app to download that will provide you with a lot of information on matches is the Four Four Two Stats Zone app.

Volleyball - Self Analysis and Tactical Awareness


You should have already discussed skills and techniques of volleyball on your blog by including the coaching points of the various shots. Now you must discuss 2 different tactics that a team can adopt to improve their performance. You must research this and then add it to your blog in your own words (and diagrams).




In practical lessons we will be getting video and photographic footage so that we can complete a self-analysis of our performance. You should create a checklist similar to the one below that will help you to keep track of what footage you have and allow you to grade your performance of each shot:

VOLLEYBALL CHECKLIST
Skill Performance Mark Video Whose Phone Photos (x4) Whose Phone
1=Excellent---> 5=Poor
Serve          
Set          
Smash (Spike)          
Dig (Pass)          
Roof (Block)          
Dig/Set/Smash Sequence

Year 13: Writing up your session plans

As discussed yesterday, the flexibility session is unique in that the format needs to ensure that you explain the different type of stretches that can be completed and detail the theory behind each of them (also including examples and diagrams). For the other sessions, you may wish to use the following sub headings:

Athlete Profile - a brief description of the athlete, main sport, short and long-term goals. This is improtant as their profile will determine the type and intensity of the exercises you include in your session plan

Warm Up - this should be appropriate activities which include a pulse raising activity and a stretching section

Main Activities - You should include details of each exercise you want your athlete to complete including appropriate times, intensities etc

Cool Down

Theory and Justification of Chosen Activities - in this section you begin to fulfill the 'merit' criteria as you explain your reasoning for selecting the activities featured above. You should refer to your notes from James' presentation and make reference to the needs of your athlete.

You have until Thursday 12th December to complete these sessions before our next presentation with James. The session will not be on this Thursday as I will be at a Table-Tennis tournament.

Year 12 - Analysis of Fitness Test Results

Tomorrow we will run the final tests (Illinois Agility and 35m Sprint). In the meantime you can begin to analyse the results that you have already obtained for one of your subjects.


Use the headings from the picture here (or use the template that is on the shared area):

Take a look at this example that was good enough to achieve a the distinction criteria:

Finally, you should remember to use sites such as www.brianmac.co.uk and www.topendsports.com to help you analyse your results and evaluate the fitness of your subject. This page on the bleep test is particularly good as it calculates your VO2 Max (more about this later).
