The paper considers the problem of improving the results of competitive activity in sports games. The competitive performance of a team depends on a number of factors. In addition to the level of physical, technical and tactical preparedness of individual players, a number of authors attach great importance to the effectiveness of teamwork. The small size of a sports team increases the influence of each player on the overall result, requires high coherence in tactical interactions, mutual understanding and effective communication of players, mutual assistance and support of partners.
The purpose of the study was to experimentally test a teamwork improvement program on game interactions and communication of players in 3x3 basketball. Methods: theoretical (analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature on the research problem, generalization of experience in improving teamwork in small groups), empirical (observation, survey, experiment), statistical (methods of mathematical processing of the results obtained). Results. The overall team work perception index after the experiment changed statistically significantly in the 3x3 team formed from the experimental group (t=5.551 at p<0.001). Changes in the indicators for individual components of team work are also significant: preparation (t=3.728 at p=0.01), execution (U=0.000 at p=0.017), evaluation (U=0.5 at p=0.026), adjustment (t=5.242 at p<0.001) and team support management (t=7.550 at p<0.001). Conclusions. The implemented team work improvement program in the basketball players' training process had a positive effect on the team work evaluation indicators, contributed to team cohesion, increased game understanding, and communication efficiency. But the indicators are lower than the maximum and need further improvement.
