Abstract

The Game Sense teaching and coaching approach is a game-based and player-centred sport teaching pedagogy that foregrounds the development of “thinking players” (Australian Sports Commission 1996; den Duyn 1997). Unlike the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model, which involves a linear, six-step tactical-to-technical process, the Game Sense approach is more flexible and typical of a nonlinear pedagogy.
