15 Examples of Pre-Sports Games

The pre-sport games constitute a phase prior to an individual's approach to competitive physical activity, as are almost all sports. For example: Basketball, pass 10, two at a time, net blind.

Pre-sports games have a link with sports, beyond the mere performance of movement aerobic: in each case, the typical movements of that sport are started, either with the body or with a ball or another object.

Pre-sport games in education

The idea is that through these games a person who is not completely familiar with a sport will join their practice. Particularly in the physical education of children play an important role pre-sport games: it is clear that at that age it is healthy for them to exercise physically at school, but they do not absolutely need the motivation given by the competition, the underlying idea is that they have the possibility of doing physical activity for a fundamentally recreational and social issue.
One of the fundamental premises on which pre-sport games are based is that most sports pose

rules that are too strict: by the very nature of sports competition, it often happens that the achievements become difficult.

When it comes to beginners, this can get very overwhelming, as the difficulty of getting the goal is added to the blocking attempt by the rivals, so the sport can become stressful. In pre-sports games, on the other hand, the flexibility of the rules leads to the fact that, without losing the condition of adversaries, the two participating teams have the possibility of developing cooperative strategies, rather than competitive ones.

Many times accustomed to taking as reference the high competition gamesChildren may not enjoy a much slower and less demanding activity as much as a pre-sport game.

There is the merit of the teacher or organizer responsible for the pre-sport game: revalue the playfulness of sport, beyond the existence of a winner and a loser. It is recommended that the teacher provide freedom and possibilities so that the game adapts to the needs and individualities of the players: precisely there is the main characteristic of pre-sports games, absent in formal sports.
