 This third edition of the popular reference i s now expanded to include lessons for younger students. Teaching Sport Concepts and Skills: A Tactical Games Approach for Ages 7 to 18 shows teachers at all levels how to move from a traditional to a tactical games approach to teaching. Focusing on tactical awareness helps students develop problem-solving skills through game play and allows teachers to individualize instruction for novice, developing, and advanced performers by either reducing or increasing the challenge of the tasks involved. Teaching Sport Concepts and Skills not only explains the tactical games approach, but it also contains more than 330 ready-to-use lessons to aid in applying it.

The DVD-ROM also includes ready-to-use reproducibles for in-service teachers that also serve as examples for preservice teachers.
