Soccer Training Initiation Model and Tactical Evolution

Proposed Initiation Model and Stages

Animation Stage

• Objective 1: To foster an acceptable level of adhesion to soccer practice through experience and exploration of real game situations in soccer 11 and adapted forms of competition.
• Objective 2: Familiarization with the morpho-functional aspects of the basic game: rules, objectives, principles, and action procedures.

Initiation Stage

• Objective 1: Improving the player-ball relationship.
• Objective 2: Development of the concept of the team game.
• Objective 3: Developing the concept of spontaneous attack.
• Objective 4: Development of the spontaneous defense concept.

Refinement Stage

• Objective 1: Improved player-ball ratio.
• Objective 2: Developing the concept of pre-structured attack.
• Objective 3: Development of the concept of pre-structured defense.
• Objective 4: Development of the concept of defensive and offensive balance.

Specialization Stage

• Objective 1: Development of the game system concept.
• Objective 2: Development of specific and conditional supporting qualities.

Evolutionary Levels of the Game

Concentration Level

• Tactical-Technical Behavior: Spontaneous actions and unexpected findings; control of the action through exteroceptive channels.
• Tactical-Strategic Behavior: Individual game and anarchic game.
• Use of Space: Uses little space and covers limited areas; game sense orientation of the longitudinal axis.
• Rules: Do not understand the significance of the regulations as a regular game.

Decentration Level

• Tactical-Technical Behavior: Overcoming spontaneous action and exploratory behavior; greater proprioceptive control of the action.
• Tactical-Strategic Behavior: Wholesale collectivization of the game; differentiation of functions from set phases and specific posts.
• Use of Space: Increasing the range and orientation of the game to be more diverse.
• Rules: Progressive knowledge and acceptance of the rules.

Structuring Level

• Technical-Tactical Behavior: Acceptable speed and accuracy in the execution of operations; greater proprioceptive control of the action.
• Tactical-Strategic Behavior: Elective game conception; taking over pre-established collective action plans; process of profiling individual tactics.
• Use of Space: Intelligent use of space in response to individual and collective interests and needs.
• Rules: Full knowledge and acceptance.
