Games set physical and mental challenges that encourages the understanding of tactics
Encourages players to use and develop perception and decision making
Skill = ability that comes from knowledge, practice, aptitude and understanding which enables the athlete to perform a technique
Allows for a player-centred problem solving approach
Empowers players to think for themselves
Techniques = learned skills that allow athletes to compete most efficiently within the rules of their sport.
“Let the game become the teacher”
Creates effective long term learning since the players are learning/discovering things for themselves
Fundamental movement skills (FMS), tactical skills, sport specific skills (technique) and fitness components to ensure the athlete develops holistically.
Games intrinsically motivate the players, creating an environment that is both challenging and enjoyable
