1. What is the idea behind the model?
The TGFU model focuses on concepts that are not considered important in the traditional ways of teaching games, such as defense and attack methods or different angles of play. It is a method of teaching that has a learner and game-centered approach to sport related games with a concept of teaching for understanding. There are six steps to this model:
Step 1: The Game – the game is introduced, and often modified to meet the developmental needs of the learner
Step 2: Game Appreciation – rules and concepts of the game are learned to gain a better understanding of what the is about.
Step 3: Tactical Awareness – students are taught to consider the tactics of the game, to help them work trough the principals of play, increasing their tactical awareness (boundaries, spatial awareness, scoring, etc.)
Step 4: Making Appropriate Decisions – students focus on making decisions during game-play to help them make appropriate game decisions according to what situation the are presented with.
Step 5: Skill Execution – knowing how to execute specific skills and movements, and when to execute those specific skills.
Step 6: Performance – based on specific criteria according to the goals of the game, which ultimately lead to experienced and talented players.
What are the four different categories of games that are discussed within this model?
There are four types categories in this model in which games can be placed, depending on the concepts, skills used, and strategies required for each game.
TARGET GAMES: These are games that are mainly focused on aim and accuracy. The goal is to deliver an object towards a target, doing so with a correct amount of force in order for that object to reach, or go into, the target.
INVASION/TERRITORY GAMES: The main goal of these types of games is to score as many points as possible in a certain amount of time, by invading the opponents territory. These games are also dependant on offensive and defensive strategies, maintaining and regaining possession, and creating space to avoid defense and attack the goal.
STRIKING/FIELDING GAMES: These games involve an offensive team (striking) and a defensive game (fielding). The main objective is for the striking team to hit an object into an area, while the fielding team tries to catch it, or return it to a designated area.
NET/WALL GAMES: The object of these games is to hit a ball or object and maneuver it in such a way as to place it into the court of your opponent in a designated area. Volleyball.
What is a tactical problem?
The fundamentals, skills, and basic strategies needed for a deeper understanding of the game, in order to advance to a higher level of play. Here are some tactical problems for each category of games:
TARGET: Performing with a certain level of strength and accuracy to hit a target.
INVASION/TERRITORY: Implementing plays to maintain or regain possession
STRIKING/FIELDING: Understanding spatial awareness
NET/WALL: Understanding areas to place a ball, and how to maneuver it to do so.
