| Abstract. | The implementation of a structured physical, technical, and tactical training program, adapted to the age of primary school students, using the GAG method, which is more effective based on evaluation through both specific tests and games, will significantly improve the performance of the representative football team and contribute to the development of team spirit and motivation for sports. During the experiment 36 training sessions were conducted using the GAG method. 72 game forms were used in small and medium groups with numerical equalities and inequalities ranging from 2 to 5 players and 36 analytical exercises. |
