A Comparative Study in the Development of a Number of Basic Skills in Soccer for Cubs in the Age Category of(9-12) years old

Abstract<br /> The study aimed at expounding the differences in a number of basic skills in soccer for the late childhood period in the age category of (9-12) years old. The researchers hypothesized that significant differences exist in some basic skills among various ages of the late childhood period between (9-12) years old. The researchers used the descriptive method using the survey which is appropriate to the nature and objectives of the study. The population of the study consisted of (200) pupils joining the primary school team players in the center of Hamdanya District for the academic year (2009-2010) while the study sample consists of (132) players representing (6) schools. the data was collected through survey and analyzing of the contexts of scientific literature pertinent to the subject of the study to determine the basic skills in soccer. The analysis showed that the skills were ( shooting, dribbling, bouncing the ball in the air, pass, and shooting for a short distance). The skills were presented to specialists in this field who validated. <br /> The researchers used the following tools for (SPSS) package software (Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s simple correlation coefficient, (F-Test) for unidirectional variance analysis, percentage, and (L.S.D). The researchers reached a number of conclusions as follows: <br /> o The arithmetic means showed a development in the basic skills of soccer with the progress in age (9-10) (10-11) )(11-12).<br /> o Real and ordered differences were found based on the statistical significance among the three age categories in the skills of (shooting) represented by (shooting towards a goal drawn on the wall), and the skill of dribbling (represented by the test of zig zag running with ball), and the control of the ball represented by the control of the ball in the air.<br /> o Non ordered differences exists between the age categories in the skills of passing (represented by passing to a target drawn on the ground), and precision of shooting as no significant differences were shown between the ages of (9-10) (10-11) in those skills. <br /> Based on above, the researcher recommended a number of recommendations.
