- The UC applies active, student-centred methodologies grounded in practical experimentation, autonomy and situated learning. Technical skill acquisition is developed through modelling and deliberate practice, complemented by small-sided games that promote understanding of tactical principles in simplified contexts. Game analysis is enhanced through video feedback, supporting the development of observational skills and self-regulation. Simulations, conditioned tasks and micro-competitive challenges stimulate decision-making under pressure. Collaborative learning is strengthened through rotating roles (coach, observer, captain), encouraging an ecological understanding of collective dynamics. The UC also integrates digital tools for session planning, recording and evaluation, fostering technological literacy and critical thinking. These methodologies ensure active, contextualised learning aligned with contemporary training environments.
