Abstract

The study aimed to identify the relationship between agility and explosive strength with the rolling skill among players at the Talent Center in football. The researcher used the descriptive method with a correlational approach and selected a purposive sample of 10 players aged 13-14 years. The researcher ensured the homogeneity of the sample in terms of age, height, weight, and training age. The most important physical abilities and basic skills were determined through a questionnaire distributed to experts and specialists. The researcher concluded that there is a strong correlation between agility and explosive strength with rolling skill among the research sample, indicating a positive factor related to the quality of training provided to the players and special attention to developing these abilities, which are fundamental for success in training football players at a high level. The researcher recommends using exercises and tools that help develop physical abilities and conducting periodic tests of these abilities to evaluate players' levels, based on which training programs should be designed in a scientific and precise manner according to different training stages.
