TGfU provides a learner-centred approach that puts the needs and abilities of the participants first, and in doing so increasing students’ levels of enjoyment and participation, all while providing them with the skills they need to move confidently in a wide range of physical activities.

The model can be applied to four categories to games. These categories are: Target Games, Net/Wall Games, Striking/Fielding Games and Invasion games. All games in each category have similar concepts and share similar tactical problems to be solved allowing transfer of tactical understanding across games.
