Purpose. the aim of this study was to compare the level of declarative tactical knowledge between U-11 and U-15 academy players. Methods. the sample comprised 36 U-11 (n = 18) and U-15 (n = 18) soccer players, with practice time of 1404.00 ± 469.52 hours and 2663.55 ± 594.91 hours, respectively. the players' practice time was collected through a recording questionnaire. Declarative tactical knowledge was assessed through a verbal report used during a video simulation test. the answers provided during the test were scored as follows: best solution (1 point); second best solution (0.75 points); third best solution (0.50 points); fourth best solution (0.25 points); wrong solution (0 points). For statistical analysis, descriptive analysis was performed, as well as the Shapiro-Wilk and Mann-Whitney tests, with significance level set at p < 0.05. For statistical purposes, the SPSS 22.0 software was applied. Results. Significant differences were observed in declarative tactical knowledge between the U-11 and U-15 age groups. Players of the older age group displayed longer practice time and higher scores than their younger counterparts. Conclusions. Players with longer practice time (U-15) possess greater declarative tactical knowledge than those with less practice time (U-11), and declarative tactical knowledge is a factor that differentiates soccer players aged 11 and 15 years.

“…Studies using sorting methods have shown that experts classify problems according to underlying functional principles, whereas novices operate more strongly with superficial features (Allard & Burnett, 1985;Russell & Salmela, 1992). Furthermore, questionnaire methods and interviews have revealed the structure and organization of movement knowledge in, for example, tennis (McPherson & Thomas, 1989, McPherson & Kernodle, 2003, Volleyball (McPherson & Vickers, in the part I of this special issue) and basketball (French & Thomas, 1987).…”
