Modifications that increase task difficulty
are also presented to assist instructors in
structuring developmental progressions
for activities that reflect various net/wall
games. For example, game modifications
that require participants to strike a ball
with a hand after a bounce are
introduced before requiring participants
to strike a ball with a racquet or with a
hand without a bounce.

A common strategy in education in
general is progressively increasing the
complexity of tasks. In the context of
physical education, Mandigo and
Anderson (2003) describe approaches to
modifying net/wall games to help
instructors in putting together
developmental progressions where the
task difficulty increases at each step.
