Abstract
The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics of the boys' 14-and-under competitions, to analyse if basketball is adapted to children's capacities and needs. The study sample comprised 2,252 attack phases. The variables studied were number of attack phases, type of each attack phase, duration of each attack phase, and number of passes of each attack phase. This research was made by means of observational methodology. All variables showed significant differences between teams. The findings of the present study suggest that boys 14-and-under competitions may be likely to improve if some of the values obtained in the analysed variables are modified.
