Touch Football: Developing a Personalized Tactical Strategy Report

This report delves into the strategic aspects of touch football, specifically focusing on developing a personalized tactical strategy to optimize player performance during attacks and scoring. The author emphasizes the importance of team chemistry, understanding opponent strengths and weaknesses, and the role of specialized movement sequences in gaining an advantage. The report acknowledges environmental constraints like weather and individual learner characteristics, such as handedness, when adapting strategies. It analyzes the effectiveness of different movement concepts, such as set plays versus switches, wraps, and split-ups, and provides justification for the strategies based on literature. The report also highlights the importance of continuous modification and maintenance of strategies to counter opponents and improve performance, while also considering the need for clear communication to a technical audience using simple language and appropriate presentation methods such as PowerPoint slides. The report also evaluates the limitations of the proposed strategy, such as potential team conflict due to exploiting player weaknesses, and the importance of critical thinking and environmental considerations.

Explanation• Touch football is a game of tactics.
• It requires the use of a set strategy in order to achieve a
goal.
• The strategy can be implemented, in attacking, scoring,
defending or passing the ball.
• This paper will focus on developing a strategy that will
improve the attacking the opposition line and scoring
• Improving the attack will help the team to score more
goals
• The foot ball player is the learner in this scenario. They
will be trained on the new strategies and it will be
implemented

• There are some environmental constrains in paying football.
This sport requires a suitable weather. Heavy rain or harsh
sunshine can affect the performance of the players. Other
weather conditions such as strong winds and snow also act as a
constraint to the performance of the individuals (Turner, 2019).
• The major principle of decision making for attacking he
opposition line and scoring is being able to predict the
opponent’s movements
• There are specialized movement sequences that can help to
predict the movement of an opponent
• In addition, some opponent have a unique movement strategy
with can be studied and used against them

Analysis• According to past research, there is a strong relating
relationship between the demand for specialized
movement sequenced that will aid in the attack of
opposition line and scoring (Ibrahim et al., 2020).
• Specialized movement can not be predicted easily by the
opponent.
• In addition, having anew movement will be an advantage
over the opposing team
• There are some constraints that limit the performance of
specialized movement sequences in the attack of the
opposition and scoring.
• An example is when the leaner is left-handed. The strategic

• Past research has also shown that different
environmental conditions require different strategies. If
the game is held during the day, there is need for
strategies that will ensure the players are not worn out
due to the harsh sunshine (Ibrahim et al., 2020).
• Consequently, games played in the evening favor the
performance of the players and a suitable strategy can
be implemented
• Published works of literature have shown that it is
important to apply the principles of decision making in
the execution of the specialized movement strategies
and sequences
• The player is required to have critical thinking skills to

Demonstration and application
• To devise a personal tactical strategy to optimize the
performance of the players during the attack of the
opposition line and scoring, it is important that there is
team chemistry (Brito E Sousa et al., 2019).
• The players should work together in harmony to move the
ball across the field
• There should be a strand relationship between the
attackers and the scorers.
• Each team member should know their opponent’s strengths
and weakness in order to devise a personal tactical
strategy.

Evaluation
• The effectiveness of the personal tactical strategy is based
on the appraisal of the outcome and limitations of the task
• Through building team chemistry, the team can improve on
attacking the opposition line and scoring
• The major limitations is that the team members may use
players weakness against them. This can cause tension and
rivalry among the players (Sarmento et al., 2016)
• The major limitation of the personal tactical strategy is that
the task requires the entire team to participate. The learner
should also have critical thinking. In addition, there should
be no environmental constraints

• The personal performance of the specialized movement
strategy and sequences in the attack of the opposition
line can be evaluated by applying to movement concepts
(Ward, 2017).
• The first movement concept was the use of set plays.
This movement was effective in the field. However, the
opposition team usually had predicted the plan and were
ready to attack the individual making it difficult to score.
• In the new specialized movement which is the use of
switches, wraps and split up is more effective because it
involves the use of serval players which increases their
chances of scoring

Justification
• Using past works of literature, it is evident that having a
personalized tactical strategy for attacking the opposition
line and scoring can help to optimize the performance of
the players (Wang, Shen, Chen, & Zeng, 2019).
• These strategies should be continuously modified and
maintained according to the opponent
• Published works have also shown that he personal
performance of a specialized movement is dependent on
modification and development and maintenance of the
strategies. This imitative will help to improve performance
(Wang, Shen, Chen, & Zeng, 2019).

• The strategies developed should be communicated to a
technical audience using simple language.
• The conventions that should be used should be basic.
• Some of the modes appropriate feature that can also be
implemented is the use of PowerPoint slides to present
