Abstract:

The main purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a combined technical-tactical didactic approach in teaching basketball at secondary schools on a) student's four game performance basketball scores (decision-making, skill execution, off the ball support and defense), b) basketball skills (dribbling, shooting, passing) and c) enjoyment. The sample was composed of 71 students aged 14.1 ? 0.9 years from ZŠ Nečín divided by sex and grades into four groups. A descriptive analysis of the learning indicators, a Shapiro-Wilk test to test normality of the study was performed. To test the effectivity of technical-tactical model over time on student's game performance, skills and enjoyment, a mixed ANOVA for repeated measurements was conducted, across the didactic unit. Both programs were found effective over time on student's game performance and skills. The differences were found in the situations of dribbling, passing, and shooting, decision-making, skill execution, player support, off and on the ball defense, and total points in the GPAI assessment instrument. For the students to learn basketball properly and improve, it is recommended to implement both technical and tactical model into the teaching curriculum.
