Abstract
Aim: Our aim in this scoping review was to investigate the existing literature on the area of playful soccer, which refers to play within organized and unorganized cotexts Method: Following JBI guidelines we identified 1801 publications of which 33 were included in the analysis, extracted from Scopus, APA, SPORTDiscus and ProQuest. Findings: Our current review show three main themes: 1) playful soccer often leads to the development of soccer-specific skills, 2) play from a purist view was examined in most publications as a means of acquiring soccer-relevant skills, and 3) the theoretical and methodological frameworks were generally repetitive. Conclusion: In general the research is repetitive in various ways and a greater variety of views of play, application of play, and study designs and measurements are needed to cover the gaps in the research. ,
