The article presents the results of a study of the degree and features of the formation of the characteristics of spatial-topological thinking in schoolchildren of grades 10-11 and students of a university of physical education. The methodological basis of this study is the approach to the game situation in sports through its consideration on the basis of spatial and topological characteristics. Such an understanding of a sports game leads to the need to form spatial and topological thinking in athletes. It was assumed that representatives of the modern generation, passing through mass education, form the characteristics of a different way of thinking – reductionist, which limits the possibilities for the manifestation of thinking required in a game situation. The results of the study showed that both schoolchildren and students highly appreciate the development of the characteristics of spatial-topological thinking, which could indicate a good readiness for its manifestation in game sports. But this contradicts the experience of sports practice and life situations. The experience of most representatives of the younger generation suggests the opposite, leaving the question of the adequacy of self-esteem among schoolchildren and students.
