Brief Summary:
Background: Soccer is a prevalent sport worldwide; most soccer players are under 18. Soccer has benefits for your health, but there is also a chance that you could get injuries occasionally. High injury rates have been observed in both adult and young players, which has prompted the development of various preventive measures. FIFA recently introduced the FIFA 11+ Kids program for children under 14 to prevent soccer injuries and enhance kids' performance. To date, no studies have been done to determine whether adding the FIFA 11 + kids program for young players under 14 will enhance soccer-specific skills.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of FIFA 11+ Kids on soccer-specific skills among young soccer players.
Methods: Thirty six young soccer players (aged 7-13) will be assigned randomly to the following groups: the control group (n =18) and the FIFA 11+ Kids program (n = 18). The experimental group will perform eight weeks of FIFA 11+ kids program (3/week). The control group will be instructed to continue their regular training . Three soccer specific skills tests : the Slalom dribble test, Harre circuit test, and Loughborough soccer passing test, will be done before and after eight weeks of training.
Statistical analysis: IBM SPSS software (version 20) will be used for all statistical analyses. Data will be summarized in terms of mean and SD. Normality is checked with the Shapiro-Wilk test and homogeneity with Levene's tests. If the data are normally distributed, a paired t-test will be used for within-group difference comparison, and an independent t-test will be used for between-group comparison. If the data are not normally distributed, the Wilcoxon-Signed rank and Mann-Whitney U tests will be used.
