Efficiency of tactical training of football players 11-12 years old using interactive tasks

Abstract

In the article, a comparative analysis of tactical training programs for football players aged 11-12 years (at the stage of preliminary basic training) is carried out using traditional (training program for football players of the "Rukh" Lviv Academy) and author's approaches (experimental program for tactical training of football players using interactive tasks) to build them content. The author's program of tactical training of 11-12-year-old football players is generally created on the basis of preliminary research. In particular, the data obtained: before the beginning, during and after the completion of the pedagogical experiment with 11-12- year-old football players, who play in the youth sports center of the Rukh Lviv football club, were analyzed. An analysis of modern foreign scientific literature on football was carried out, which describes the tactical training of football players in the early stages of multi-year sports improvement. Conducting a pedagogical experiment made it possible to testify that 11-12-year-old football players are quite capable of effectively performing tasks of a tactical nature in "one-on-one" and "two-on-one" situations while playing football. Also, the players of both studied groups demonstrated sufficient results when performing complex group interactions, namely: "two against two" and "three against two". However, the superiority of the players of the experimental group over the football players of the control group was recorded in virtually all the control tests that took place after the end of the pedagogical experiment. Therefore, it is worth considering that due to the selection of rational methods and means, it is possible to purposefully and effectively influence the tactical preparedness of young Ukrainian football players starting from the early years of playing football (in particular, from the age of 11-12).
