SMALL-SIDED GAMES
ADAPTED BY T. GOODMAN
Want Ss to receive quality ALT-PE, OTR, & maximum participation to help increase skill level; Fewer Ss on the playing surface = more possible times S will come in contact with the ball. Ss have no choice; the ball will quickly find them;
(3 v 3 = 1 ball per 6 players) vs. (11 v 11 = 1 ball per 22 players)
Want Ss to make more, less complicated decisions during the game - (less players on the field = less complicated decisions);
Want Ss to be more physically efficient in the space they are playing in (reduced field size); Want Ss to have more individual teaching time with the T - - feel worthy & important;
More opportunities to teach; o Allows T a perfect opportunity to observe and analyze the individual and collective responses of Ss under game-like conditions in a simple environment.
o
Want Ss to have more involved playing time in the game; o More opportunity to solve problems that only game can present. More opportunity to play all positions; o More exposure to offensive and defensive situations...
Want Ss to have more opportunities to score goals, points, etc. which leads to more excitement & fun; o Smaller field size & fewer players fosters more shooting/scoring opportunities. The environment fosters development of social and mental skills; o Helps improve teamwork, communication, & competitiveness.
Every student will get multiple opportunities to use many of the skills involved in the game.
Tactics . . . Smaller numbers mean more opportunities for decision making by each student.
Transition . . .
Encourages fast play. No cushion of teammates to delay attack when possession is lost.
SMALL-SIDED GAMES
Small Sided environment is a developmentally appropriate environment for the Ss. Its a FUN environment that focuses on the STUDENT! It just makes sense...doesnt it?
