This study examined the pedagogical potential of traditional Brazilian street football games (Bobinho and Timinho) in U-17 players under various task constraints. Results showed that these games improved ball possession and technical-tactical skills, with different learning opportunities emerging according to players’ skill levels, supporting their use as flexible teaching tools in youth football development.
