What is the primary purpose of games for specific outcomes?

The primary purpose of games for specific outcomes is to achieve a targeted skill development goal. This approach focuses on using structured games to concentrate on particular skills or strategies relevant to a sport or physical activity. By creating scenarios that simulate aspects of a sport, participants can practice and refine specific skills in a controlled environment, allowing for focused development and improvement.

While enhancing fitness levels and fostering social bonds may occur as a byproduct of playing such games, their main intent is the intentional development of targeted skills. These games provide a practical setting to apply techniques and strategies purposefully aimed at improving performance, rather than simply increasing fitness or social interaction. Practicing skills in a reduced environment, while relevant, is also secondary to the overarching aim of achieving specific developmental objectives.
