Methods used: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, questionnaires, methods of mathematical and statistical processing of the obtained data. Results: 74% of trainers do not have enough information about tactical training.

Conclusions: modern scientific literature does not contain enough information and practical recommendations on the development of tactical thinking and the improvement of tactical training of gymnasts in group exercises of rhythmic gymnastics.
