Description:

Tactical periodization has revolutionized the world of soccer, attracting the attention of experts and becoming increasingly popular among those who use it. Based on theory and the study of complexity, this method does not follow a linear logic. Its strength lies in the approach that takes into account the chaotic nature of the game and sees training as a progressive process of adaptation to these conditions. The coaching staff leads the player to a certain mentality about the game. The Basic Tactical Periodization, adapting the methodological principles to pre-competitive youth categories, aims to bring the player closer to the reality of the game, exploiting his ability to learn and adapt. In this course, the fundamentals of the methodology and how this pedagogical proposal can help young players to improve will be explored.

Tactical Periodization vs Basic Tactical Periodization

Introduction to Basic Tactical Periodization (PTDB), a training methodology for basic players that integrates the principles of Tactical Periodization. The PTDB aims to train complete players, developing both individual technical-tactical skills and understanding of the game. The game model is implemented and reinforced through training designed to develop its principles. The ultimate goal is to create players who know how to play soccer in an integrated way and in harmony with their teammates.

The three Methodological Principles & the concept of Specificity.

Let's continue the speech by introducing the fundamental components of the method, the principles with which fieldwork is conducted and the demographic target of the methodology.

Specificity training

Working with Basic Tactical Periodization means training players in situations that mimic a real soccer match as much as possible. This is the first fundamental principle of the methodology, which makes it possible to create a specific work base where the game model is developed and strengthened. This approach ensures that training is as realistic as possible and that players are best prepared for future games.

The Functional Game Model

The teaching structure of Basic Tactical Periodization differs significantly from traditional Tactical Periodization. The functional game model is the first example of our innovative approach to teaching and training fundamentals. This emphasis on the game model as the basis for training allows us to provide a more complete and effective learning experience for players.

The Tactical Overdimension

To work specifically, the coach must have extensive transversal knowledge that allows him to identify the presence of this concept. Tactical overdimension is the description of the context in which tactical oversize occurs. It is critically important for creating training sessions that encourage and develop specificity. Studying this concept thoroughly is crucial to getting the most out of the players during training.

Generate, Recognize & Modulate Tactical Oversize

What does tactical oversize consist of? How do we recognize the determinants of each component? Operating under a specific regime means completely immersing yourself in the chaotic nature of the game, without a reference map it's easy to get lost.

Accademia Pavese Pulcini Under 10 Functional Game Model. SS — 2021/2022 Part 1

Let's introduce a case study related to a team group of Pulcini Under 10, we justify the choice of the analysis method and highlight the Principles of Attack of the game model together with the teaching tools that we use in the field to transmit them.

Accademia Pavese Pulcini Under 10 Functional Game Model. SS — 2021/2022 Part 2

Let's continue with the analysis of the group by introducing and analyzing the Principles of Defense together with the teaching tools that we use in the field to transmit them.

Functional Activation

At the beginning of the training session, a moment is dedicated to functional activation. This phase aims to prepare players for the subsequent transmission of the game concepts that will be developed during the session itself. The functional activation includes a group exercise and a game situation that puts into practice the learned technique, both proposed in a highly specific context.

Systematic Repetition

The central part of the training session is dedicated to systematic repetition, a fundamental component of the teaching process that aims to make players exercise repeatedly on game principles in similar game situations. During these exercises, tactical overdimension is exploited, a context that stimulates players specifically with respect to the needs of the game. In this phase, two game situations are proposed with different numerical situations, maintaining the same game principles. This allows players to train their ability to apply game concepts in different situations.

Real gaming conditions

At the end of the training, two themed games are proposed, which serve to test the application of the game principles in increasingly complex gaming situations. After practicing the players on the principles of the game with systematic repetition, the difficulty of the exercises is gradually increased, getting closer and closer to the environmental conditions of the competition. The two proposed games are 3v3 with different objectives, in which increasing the number of players involved automatically increases the complexity of the actions. In this way, it can be verified if the players are able to correctly apply the game principles in relation to the situations that are created during the game.
