Abstract
This article reports the findings of a scoping review of the use of small-sided games
(SSGs) as a teaching or coaching pedagogy across four game categories. The selection
criteria included empirical research available online, published after January 1 2006
and prior to December 31, 2016, in an academic journal. The data were analysed
through an inductive thematic approach which generated two themes: Development
and Practical considerations. This review found that SSGs can be used as a deliberate
pedagogy to elicit physiological responses for a training effect. Given that the variables
associated with SSGs include pitch size, game intensity, and number of players, a key
determining factor in the implementation of SSGs includes the objective of the practice
activity.

International Sports Studies (ISS) is a scholarly journal in the field of physical education and sport with a unique focus. Its aim is to advance understanding and communication between members of the global community who share a professional, personal or scholarly interest in the state and development of physical education and sport around the world. International Sports Studies (ISS) is today without paradigmatic prejudice and reflects an eclectic approach to the task of understanding physical education and sport in the contemporary world. It asks only that its contributors can add to knowledge about international physical education and sport studies through studies involving comparisons between regional, national and international settings or by providing unique insights into specific national and local phenomena which contribute to an understanding that can be shared across as well as within national borders.
