Constraints-Led Approach
Relatedness: Traditional Sport versus Small-sided Games
ABSTRACT
Physical Education teachers have a responsibility to create learning environments that facilitate for the motivational and skill acquisition needs of their students. In this paper, we begin to explore the impact an approach drawn from Non-linear Pedagogy would have in overcoming the key challenge teachers face in the development of programs that support relatedness. Research conducted for this paper is based upon the comparison of small-sided and traditional games of netball. The results demonstrate that through the application of NLP, teachers can ensure their lessons support the basic psychological need of relatedness that impacts self-determined motivation.

A short explanation of rules was given and participants were told they would partake in a 10-minute game of conventional netball that was controlled by a referee. The game was filmed and observations were recorded, focusing levels of perceived relatedness. After the game, each player completed the ROPAS reflecting on their involvement and enjoyment.
Constraints-Led Approach
After the traditional game, participants were split into 4 teams of three players. Two games of endball; a simplified small-sided version of netball, were played, enabling the participants to work together to self-referee the games and modify rules as the game progressed. The games were both filmed and observations were taken. After the game, each player completed another ROPAS reflecting again on their involvement and enjoyment.
Statistical Data Analysis
A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the sample group to discover to what measure SSG affected relatedness in netball. The data has been statistically analysed using the mean and standard deviation for each of the 5 questions, which was then repeated for relatedness by using a mean score of the 5 questions. A paired t-test was used to discover statistically significant differences in regards to relatedness between the two variables of traditional and
