What is Tactical games? • The tactical games approach is grounded in a constructivist learning perspective that recognizes the centrality of the learner to the construction of meaning across the psychomotor, cognitive, and social/personal domains.
Invasion games In invasion games teams score by moving a ball or other projectile into another team’s territory and either shooting into a fixed target like a goal or a basket or moving the projectile across an open-ended target like in hockey where the puck need to cross the line to score a goal. Net/Wall games In net/wall games, teams or individual players score by hitting a ball into a court space with sufficient accuracy and power so that opponents cannot hit it back before it bounces once like in volleyball or badminton or twice as in tennis or racquetball.
Striking/ Fielding games In striking/fielding games such as baseball, softball, and cricket, players on the batting team must strike a ball with sufficient accuracy and power so that it eludes players on the fielding team and gives the hitter time to run between two destinations. Target games In target games, players score by throwing or striking a ball to a target. The target can be either opposed like in shuffleboard or croquet or unopposed like in golf and bowling.
