Analytical Study of the Correlation of Physical Abilities with Scoring Accuracy for Young Football Academy Players

Abstract

The target of sport training process is to raise the level of players according to the logical sequence of the overall abilities on which the game of football is based, including physical  and skill abilities that logically explain the results obtained by the team during the competition, The study aimed to figure out level of physical abilities and skill for youth soccer players, Descriptive approach was used  in the style of comparisons and correlations between them because it is concerned with revealing the relationship between two or more variables to figure out the extent of correlation between these variables and express them digitally. The research sample included the (32) players of Al-Batha Football Academy under (17) years old in the competition period for the football season (2022-2023), the tests of  physical abilities included vertical jump test (Surgent)to measure Power, and reaction test (Nilson) to measure motor responsiveness, and zigzag running among cones for (20) meters to measure agility, For scoring accuracy the scoring test was used on a goal divided by degrees from a distance of (11) Meter. There was no relationship of the physical abilities with scoring accuracy. There is a weakness in the level of scoring accuracy skill and physical abilities through the absence of correlations between these variables mentioned.  There is a difference in the level of performance of physical abilities and scoring accuracy among the research sample.
