Abstract The aim of this study was to verify whether there is an association between declarative tactical knowledge and the level of anxiety, according to gender of young futsal practitioners. 25 boys and 11 girls who practice futsal at school participated in the study. Declararative Tactical Knowledge Test – Futsal 2 was used to analyze the declarative tactical knowledge (DTK). For the analysis of the level of anxiety, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was applied. Boys had better score for better decision and total score on the DTK compared to girls. For anxiety, no significant difference were observed for the scores obtained between the groups, as well no significant correlations between trait-anxiety and state-anxiety with the scores obtained in the DTK. It is concluded that boys have higher levels of DTK than girls, however, the level of anxiety does not seem to influence the students’ DTK.
