Abstract:
The aim of this research was to describe the status of young soccer players’ motor performance abilities (MPA) as an effort to improve their soccer skills. Like other techniques, motor performance abilities (MPA) including basic movements like walking, slow running or jogging, fast running in short area, turning, stopping then moving in different direction, hoping, jumping, accelerating and decelerating is important in soccer field. The MPA of every talented player must be trained time to time progressively. Motor abilities like strength, endurance, speed, agility, coordination, flexibility and balance are needed as complement techniques. An appropriate touch is needed when dribbling, receiving and controlling, passing and shooting the balls in soccer. In this case, this MPA is needed to develop soccer skills through trainings and matches. The sample as the participants in this study included all prospective athletes through the talented athletes’ selection in 2018 in Yogyakarta and
they were chosen through total sampling. A descriptive quantitative analysis was used to describe a role of MPA components to develop soccer skills. The findings of this research showed that MPA status of young soccer players can be described as integrated training of soccer skills. The data of MPA young soccer players’ status were detected and evaluated by observations and measured through tests. The MPA test could be used to maintain or increase the players’ skills, which can be designed for different age group players.
