CONSENSUS STATEMENT
In order to promote terminological consistency among researchers and practitioners, we suggest the use of Game-Based Approach (GBA) to refer to the learner-centered teaching and coaching practice in which the modified games set the base and framework for developing thoughtful, creative, intelligent, and skilful players.
We also encourage the use of Game-Based Approaches (GBAs) to refer to several well-established approaches that follow a GBA like TGfU, Game Sense, Play Practice, Tactical Games Model, Ballschool, Invasion Games Competence Model and other similar proposals.

We would really love to see short video clips and photos of as many of our supporters as possible.
