BACKGROUND: Several tactical assessment tools have been proposed to evaluate players’ tactical performance in more representative contexts.
AIM: Investigate the associations between the results from different tactical assessment tools, TSAP and FUT-SAT, in youth soccer players.
METHOD: Twenty-seven male U-11 soccer players participated in the study (mean age = 11.02 ± 0.78 years). The players' technical-tactical performance was analyzed using the Team Sports Performance Assessment Procedure - TSAP. The players' tactical performance and behavior were assessed using the Football Tactical Assessment System - FUT-SAT. Pearson's correlation test was used to analyze the association between the performance indexes obtained through both assessment tools.
RESULTS: With the results obtained, it was possible to verify that both assessment tools' performance indexes did not present a significant correlation.
CONCLUSION: Through these results, it is possible to conclude that it is extremely necessary for the correct choice of the assessment tools to be used, considering their characteristics and limitations, as well as their relation with tactical content to be emphasized during the learning process.
