A characteristic of motor learning theories is their emphasis on the benefits of practice variability. However, practice variability and variety and its effective organization are among the challenges facing sport science researchers. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of variable practice arrangements (blocked, random, and blocked-random) on acquisition, retention, and transfer of parameter. In this regard the researcher has selected 30 subjects. Subjects of this study was high school students with mean age 16 years old that randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 students. Participants in this experiment (N=30) practiced a 18 jump shot basketball task at three different distances (A:1.5, B:3, C:4.5 meter) that for a total of 18 trials following either a blocked, random or randomized-block practice schedule. The subjects participated in acquisition, retention and transfer(4 meters from the basketball hoop) tests. For analyse of results used paired sample t- test, Tukey post hoc test and ANOVA test. The results indicated that there was significant differences(α≤0.05) between practice groups in acquisition, retention and transfer tests. Therefore, the findings of this study show that the variable practice arrangement had an effect on the acquisition, retention and transfer distance parameter in the basketball jump shot and were not supported by the second hypothesis of Magill and Hall (1990) that the reason for the inconsistency of the results may be the amount of practice, the number of attempts, previous experience, or the age of the subjects.
