Complete Lesson + Matching Student Notes
This lesson builds directly on Lesson 1 and explores the second set of core practice methods: Massed Practice, Distributed Practice, Fixed Practice and Varied Practice. Students learn when each method is most effective, how they link to skill classification, and how to apply them to real sporting situations.
Designed with clarity and exam success in mind, this resource includes paired tasks, applied coaching scenarios, a group carousel activity, and a 4-mark exam-style question.
