Abstract

The purpose of this research is to provide a theoretical and practical framework based on the literature for the investigation, identification and application of specific interventions for the implementation of basketball training in the U12 category. The optimization of the specific training process for the players of the U12 category involves the development and observance of a sports training program within which the physical, technical and tactical exercises specific to this category are well defined, classified according to the motor qualities with which each player is endowed and which he can develop, the skills and motor skills acquired up to this level reaching the rank of performance. The training in the game of basketball in the U12 category must be correlated with the complex, bio-psycho-social changes of the players, which take place within human development, which implies an extensive and complex program of physical exercises able to contribute to the development of the capacities and abilities of the basketball player. Analysis of the results of the control tests carried out during the training process showed an improvement in the level of specific and technical-tactical physical training at this level.
