Sport Education is an instruction model from the Anglo-Saxon context, whose main goals are to develop literate, enthusiastic and competent people. The aim of this study was to analyse the development of empathy, assertiveness and social relations that are usually attributed to this instructional model. Sport Education was implemented in an intact group of 21 subjects (10 boys and 11 girls) aged 10-11 years for 18 sessions, assessing variables using test-retest. The Empathy Questionnaire, Children's Assertiveness Behaviour Scale and a Sociometric questionnaire were applied. Different ANOVA were conducted and results showed that the group did not improve its empathy, assertiveness, aggressiveness, positive friends or negative friends. However, significant differences were found in reducing passive behaviour in the whole group, aggressiveness in some roles and negative friends among girls. Significant differences were also found in increasing positive friends among the components of each team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of the study is to assess technical-tactical knowledge (declarative and procedural) in youth football players with high level of expertise in invasion games. 14 male youth football players, aged 12 years, from the Albacete Football Club were administered a test of a video-recorded football game based on a modified game of 5 vs. 5 players. To evaluate individual and group performance during the game (decision making and motor execution), we used the Game Performance Evaluation Tool (G-PET). Participants were then interviewed twice to test their base knowledge. In the first interview, they were asked about invasion games, and more specifically about football. In the second, participants' procedural knowledge, based on video recorded sequences of the game, was analysed. The results reveal that 12-year-old football players have a high level of performance in the selected actions, particularly with respect to tactical awareness (decision making), and high performance in response execution, but their base knowledge as measured in the interviews is poor.
