This descriptive and propositive article has the objective of addressing the teaching process of the collective sports games, assuming that they should be understood in view of the ontological nature of the game, of the organizational process and of the inherent logic of collective games. We propose the teaching process by considering the idea of essential competencies as a reference, which stem from the interaction between structural and functional references, which balance the game logic. Thus we have laid the foundation for the development of a methodology outlined by the game and by the parameters for structuring the syllabus of competency-based training.194227249
