Résumé

Abstract: This study investigated the effectiveness of a hybrid training model combining online audiovisual learning with traditional training sessions to improve tactical awareness in football players under 12 years of age. Sixty male participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental or a control group during a 4-week academy program. The experimental group also received two 20-minute digital tactical sessions per week. Assessments used a Video-Based Decision-Making Test (VBDMT) and a Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI). Results revealed significant improvements in the experimental group's VBDMT scores from the pre-test (12.4 ± 1.8) to the post-test (17.8 ± 1.5, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 3.25), along with superior positioning on the field. Conversely, the control group showed no significant changes. In conclusion, the integration of structured digital interventions significantly optimizes cognitive decision-making in beginning pre-adolescent children, offering coaches an efficient strategy to maximize development within the constraints of training hours.
