Show Worked Solution

B is correct: Small-sided games create performance pressure while reducing complexity, allowing focused tactical development.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Small-sided games deliberately modify full game conditions rather than replicating them completely.
C is incorrect: The approach maintains competitive elements and pressure rather than eliminating them entirely.
D is incorrect: The focus is tactical development rather than rest management for players.
