6. GCSE Physical Education Information/Discussion Practical Application Links Diagram/Table Activity Revision MAIN MENU Types of Skill SECTION B UNIT 1 - Information CLOSED Skills can also be seen in open situations: (1)Serving in Badminton.

A badminton serve always has the same actions, but the player can change the timing and placing of the shot according to the opponents stance. This can be done from memory and from his weaknesses. This skill, therefore, is partly closed and partly open. (2) High Jump – the jump itself is closed but the run-up is influenced by the surface, weather, crowd and height of the bar.
