Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the tactical behaviours performed by youth soccer players in a smallsided, according to different goalposts of Society Soccer (6m x 2m) and Futsal (3m x 2m). The players performed 146 tactical actions in the field with goalposts of Soccer Society and 536 in the field with goalposts of Futsal. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test (p≤0.05) were carried out to characterize the sample and check the association. The Kappa of Cohen coefficient was used to check inter- and intra-observers reliability. It was not found statistical differences for tactical principles performed by players in the field with goalposts of Futsal and with goalposts of Society Soccer. It is possible to conclude that there was an independent relationship between tactical actions performed by players in the field with goalposts of Futsal and with goalposts of Society Soccer (p < 0.05). Thus, the “GK3-3GK” test can be applied to evaluate tactical behaviours performed by soccer players in both situations.
