Purpose.The present study constitutes a comprehensive bibliometric analysis aimed at evaluating both the quantity and quality of scientific output pertaining to small-sided games (SSGs). This analysis employs science mapping techniques to explore networks and clusters within publications, authors, and keywords associated with the SSG field.Methods.The process of identifying relevant studies involved a rigorous search across reputable databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (Core Collection). Inclusion criteria stipulated that studies must primarily focus on SSGs, with explicit references to SSGs or synonymous terms in the title or abstract.Results.Out of 3,125 initially retrieved titles, 1,084 met these criteria and were included. When considering five-year intervals, the average number of annual publications from 2019 to 2023 stood at 122.2. It is noteworthy that, in the last five years (2019–2023), a total of 34 reviews were published. Additionally, there is an increasing prevalence of keywords related to soccer, athletic performance, global positioning systems and their associated metrics, as well as terms associated with tactical behaviour, validity, and reliability.Conclusions.The bibliometric analysis revealed that the majority of studies in this field have predominantly focused on training load monitoring, particularly concerning acute effects and with a strong emphasis on soccer. Future research directions should aim to address existing imbalances, including the incorporation of more experimental randomised controlled studies, a broader range of sports, and the inclusion of female participants. Additionally, mixed-methodological approaches should be encouraged to enhance the depth and breadth of the field.

“…The participants completed 10 attempts to receive the ball on the ground with a ball speed at 19 km/h (measured with a laser gun (Stalker Pro II+, Richardson, TX, USA)) and were instructed to make the receive every second time to the right and left to make a pass with the right or left foot. The test was adapted from [25] (Table 1). Two educated soccer coaches, one with a UEFA b-licence and with more than 10 years of experience as a soccer coach and one with a UEFA c-licence with more than 5 years of experience, scored every reception of the ball based on set criteria [25].…”

Female soccer has recently experienced an impressive increase in the number of players, and an impressive improvement in the quality of elite matches. Still, studies show sex differences in match statistics on passing accuracy and the ability to control the ball in international matches, which is explained by a lower skill of level in female soccer players as compared to male players. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate if female youth soccer players had bridged the gap in technical skills to reach the level that boys have traditionally attained. Sixteen male and 17 female youth soccer players of the same age and experience level took part in technical skill tests of reception of the ball on the ground and long passes. The results show a significant difference between the sexes in reception performance in favour of the male players (p < 0.05, ES = 1.09), but no significant difference in the long pass test (p = 0.11, ES = 0.43). This leads to the conclusion that the lower score on ball reception is probably the result of experience in small-sided self-organised soccer games during childhood among the male players, which influences reception skills but not the ability to make accurate long passes.

“…Dribbling is one of the basic techniques that must be mastered by every football player in addition to other basic techniques. Dribbling is a powerful weapon that can be used to strategize the game and set the tempo of the game (Sørensen, et al, 2021). Dribbling ability cannot be done without being supported by several other supporting elements.…”

This study aims to determine: (1) The relationship between speed and dribbling ability. (2) The relationship between agility and dribbling ability. (3) The relationship between limb power and dribbling ability. (4) The relationship between eye-foot coordination with dribbling ability. (5) The relationship between speed, agility, leg power, and eye-foot coordination on the dribbling ability of Bali United football players in 2021. This type of research is correlational. The population in this study were 32 Bali United 2021 football players. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The speed instrument is measured by the 50 meter running test with units of seconds, agility is measured using the Illinois Agility Test with units of seconds, leg power is measured using the vertical jump test with units of centimeters, and dribbling ability is measured by the Short Dribbling Test test in units of seconds. The data analysis technique uses multiple regression. The results showed that: (1) There is a significant relationship between speed and dribbling ability. (2) There is a significant relationship between agility and dribbling ability. (3) There is a significant relationship between limb power and dribbling ability. (4) There is a significant relationship between eyefoot coordination and dribbling ability. (5) There is a significant relationship between speed, agility, leg power, and eye-foot coordination on the dribbling ability of Bali United football players in 2021.
