Abstract

  The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of creating two Free-Shoot Zones (FSZ) at freely chosen spots on acquisition of tactics in the setting of 4-on-3 basketball games in upper-elementary physical education classes. Tactics learning was incorporated as an important part of basketball classes, and implemented at two different upper-elementary grade levels during physical education classes. Because the purpose of creating the FSZ is to ensure opportunities to take a shot, it prevents defenders from interfering, thus maximizing the shooter's chances of a successful shot. During the study, 25 1-m2 squares were placed in restricted areas, and then the students chose two preferred areas before the game. In order to analyze the influence of the FSZ, students' conversations were recorded during tactical timeouts in every class using a digital voice recorder. At those times, students discussed where to place the FSZ. They recorded the offensive strategies of their team on their learning cards. Furthermore, the teacher categorized the students' strategic ideas into patterns A, B, or C. Later, for every physical education class, the number of occurrences of each predetermined strategy was recorded on the basis of the three patterns. The data were then displayed on a line graph to illustrate how the tactical patterns differed among the classes. The main findings were as follows:<br>   1.  Many teams modified their strategies intentionally or made gradual tactical transformations depending on the defense's positions and movements when the FSZ was both guarded and unguarded.<br>   2.  After determining spots where it was possible to create unmarked spaces, many teams devised strategies to attract the defense to create free spaces for shooting, and also collaborated in creating shooting opportunities.<br>   The present findings demonstrate the effectiveness of incorporating a FSZ into tactical learning in elementary school basketball classes.
