Abstract

Abstract : The majority of the sport and physical education literature defines how a technique and tactic should look. However, a gap existing in the current literature is how to select different techniques and tactics to teach diverse learners at different developmental stages. This article takes an initial step to map out the techniques and tactics that should be taught to third- to eighth-grade students in a soccer unit in physical education. The information presented here provides critical guidance for physical education teachers to plan their unit and lesson plans to meet the developmental needs of their students at different grade levels, thus enhancing their instruction and improving student learning.
