Abstract Purpose Discussions held by players during the halftime of a soccer match are widely recognized as influential factors in boosting their involvement and physical activity players. This study aimed to investigate impact learning small-sided games (SSG) through player discussions on decision-making, well technical tactical skills young Methods Forty-two U-15 male amateur were randomly assigned 6 groups participated comprising 4 sessions (SSG). Each session consisted two sets 15 min each. The SSG conducted with without inclusion self-regulation learning. Technical actions (i.e., balls won, received, lost, shots, goals) measured each set using digital camera recorder. Results results showed no significant differences main effects time, group, session, group × time interactions for most actions. However, there was effect observed shoot action ( P = 0.021; η p 2 0.102), higher number co-regulation than group. Conclusion approach employed alone did not lead improvements performance SSG. Further research is needed explore additional and/or interventions that could potentially enhance effectiveness
