| Resumo: | The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of rule modifications on the game actions of the schoolchildren that participated in a basque pelota school program. The sample consisted of 60 schoolchildren ranging in age from 8 to 12 years. Thirty-five children participated in six games held during the 2007-08 year, and the remaining 25 children participated in six games during the 2008-09 year. Data registry was carried out by an ad hoc observational instrument followed by an analysis of the following variables: shot area and type, spatial location when waiting and direction of the serve, serve-return, and return hits. The comparison of averages (2007-08 and 2008-09) was carried out with a non-parametric Mann- Whitney U (p < 0.05) with a Bonferroni correction. The results show that, after modifying the rules, players from the two years play similarly: they hit the ball with the right hand in areas that are close to the front left wall, they stand to the right of the player who hits in doubles and on the left in singles, they serve toward a middle distance, commit faults in the serve return and return hits, and they develop a short (distance) game. The only differences were found in the short distance and right serve returns. The analysis of game indicators may be helpful to assess the effects of the rule changes in the field of youth coaching |
