Abstract

The purpose of this research were (1) to examine the effect of the agility ladder drills on increasing the speed of dribbling a ball for the male football players at the age of 13 to 15 at Mahavajiravudh School in SongkhlaProvince and (2) to compare the level of speed in dribbling the ball of those players before and after the agility ladder drills. It was found that the agility ladder drills played a significant role in easing the dribbling of a ball for the male football players at Mahavajiravudh School in Songkhla Province. In the process of testing, the 20 football players were required to dribble a ball through a 12 meter-long speed track with 12 cones placed along the tract. Before applying the ladder drills, the average time spent in dribbling a ball across the ladder for the 20 players was 3 minutes. The significant change in the time spent in dribbling a ball across the track was found after 8 weeks of agility ladder drills whereby the better average time of 1.95 minutes was recorded. In addition, it was also found that the football players with the body weight between 36 and 40 kilograms made the most outstanding improvement in their dribbling time. From the average of 3 minutes before the ladder drills application, they managed to make it 1.75 minutes after the drills. The significant improvement in dribbling a ball of the players after going through the agility ladder drills was at .05 levels.
