The purpose of the study was to identify the importance and features of tactical training of athletes in team games in the early stages of long-term sports development. Materials and methods. The most common team game sports are singled out, in which the main game tools are the ball, namely: volleyball, handball, basketball and football. Curricula for children's and youth sports school and others are analyzed in each sport in order to identify the place and features of tactical training of athletes in the early stages of long-term sports improvement. Also, Ukrainian and foreign basic works in the field of sports and specialized literature for each of the above sports were developed. Results and discussion. Tactical training of the athlete is one of the determining factors in the effectiveness of his/her performances during competitive activities in team sports (football, volleyball, basketball, handball, etc.). At the same time, in sports theory to this day, it is considered that tactical training is a priority in the preparation of later stages of long-term improvement. In contrast, some domestic and foreign experts in the field of sports argue that athletes who are at the stage of preliminary basic training are already fully capable of effective implementation of tactical tasks during training and competitive activities in the chosen sport. In Ukraine, most children who specialize in team sports are involved in state sports organizations. When building a long-term process of training athletes, these organizations are guided by approved training programs in sports. Most of these programs are outdated and cannot provide effective training for Ukrainian athletes. One of the main conditions for the active development of team sports abroad is a change in approaches to building the educational process of young athletes. In fact, the content of these approaches is to increase the overall share of tactical training within the training process of young athletes, through the active use of games and competitive exercises. This is actively followed in the training of young players in leading European and world private clubs. The use of modern approaches to the training of young athletes in team sports in Ukraine will improve their level of training (including tactical). Conclusion. The study found that tactical training is an integral part of the training process of young athletes in team sports. However, the role of tactical training in the early stages of long-term training is insignificant. The need to update curricula to improve the training of young Ukrainian athletes in the early stages of long-term sports development has been identified. Also, differences between the theoretical and practical support of the process of tactical training of young athletes in Ukraine are identified
