FAMILY OF GAMES TASK – What Are The Family Of Games? TARGET – No decisions to make. Lots of time and space to complete tasks COURT – Simple decisions to make through using their previously learned technical skills e.g. where will I defend FIELD – More tactical decisions to be made e.g. where to hit/kick/strike ball before I run – when will I stop NON/PART/FULL INVASION – Some of the most demanding games for children to play. Child’s own personal space is allowed to be pressurised through tackling and/or interception of the ball. Child must decide whether to pass, shoot or carry the ball

FAMILY OF GAMES

GAME SENSE APPROACH Awareness On and Off The Ball, Player Movement, Reading The Game and Decision Making Build in Problem Solving in order to help young players Understand what They Are Doing Game Appreciation: Focus on the Player rather than the Game Tactical Know How: Allow players to Solve Problems posed by the game
