The purpose of this paper is three-fold: (a) to summarily examine the matters of team-sport subject-matter knowledge and student team-sport pedagogical content knowledge learning as they evolved in France since the 1960s, (b) to recall briefly the main constitutive elements of the Tactical-Decision Learning Model (T DLM) and their ties with student understanding and learning, and (c) to illustrate the use configurations of play and effective play-spaces as tools for enhancing student learning. Through T-DLM, students are challenged to collectively plan action projects, implement them in game play situations, and conclude as to their level of success or failure, going through several iterations of the process until stabilization of their acquired knowledge. This learning process unfolds under the teacher’s learned and facilitating guidance. Keywords: T-DLM, team-sport understanding, debate-of-ideas, configuration of play, student-centered approach
