We consider the mathematical modeling, which is one of the main methods used for solving tactical training of students-basketball players. The purpose of mathematical modeling is to determine the best ways to overcome the opponent counter based on the analysis of the existing and the resulting through the research of the new information. The paper also describes the steps of a "model" of research, reflecting technology development of a mathematical model of tactical actions in basketball. The proposed approach to the problem of optimizing the tactical activity of basketball athletes playing in the national teams of universities, where mathematical modeling is used in the context of game theory and creates additional opportunities for learning sports and gaming activities, expressed in determining the levels of professional training of university athletes.modelmathematical modelingbasketball tactical actionsmilestonesand sportsмодельматематическое моделированиебаскетболтактические действияэтапыспорт[Абалян А.Г.
