Abstract

        The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of a training program using small-sided games and experimental matches on developing the fundamental skills of football players. The research sample consisted of (40) players from Al-Yarmouk Club, randomly selected, with ages under (15). The researchers used an experimental approach, with the program lasting for (12) weeks, consisting of (4) training sessions per week. The researchers found that the training program led to the development of basic skills such as "control, passing, ball dribbling, shooting, and throw-ins." They emphasized the importance of coaches incorporating small-sided games, experimental matches, and focusing on these aspects when designing training programs for football players, especially for the youth category.
