“…Leg muscle power is needed to support the leg so that it can kick the ball hard [17]. The rapid flow of the ball that is kicked by the player will make it more difficult for the opponent's goalkeeper to block the ball, so the chances of a goal will be greater [8].…”

This experiment investigted transfer of skills from dominant leg limb to non-dominant leg limb and vice versa in dribbling with the ball, juggling and passing/shooting technics of soccer for inexperienced male children. 24 male student age of 10 years from 3th grade who have not involved in a football club as a player. In football basic technical practices, dominant leg (DL) group just used their dominand leg/foot, and non-dominant leg (NDL) group just used their non-dominant leg/foot. Practice phase applied one time a week between February and May on the football field with synthetic grass. The results showed there were not exist no significant difference between the transfers from dominant leg group to non-dominant group or vice versa. On the other hands, performance of all technics improved on dominant and non-dominant groups for the comparison of pre- and post-tests. The findings suggest that the transfer of learning skills could be more effective from non-dominant leg limb to dominant leg limb significantly for technics of juggling, dribbling and kicking.

“…For children, juggling the ball with the foot is a fundamental exercise for the football-specific skills such as dribbling or reception of the ball. Thus, juggling is frequently used in training programmes and for testing of football skills, especially in young players (Weigelt, Williams, Wingrove, & Scott, 2000;Bozkurt, & Kucuk, 2018). In general, this exercise involves rhythmic kicking of the ball with one foot (as many times as possible or as many times as possible within a given time) while standing on the contralateral leg.…”

Success in football requires skilled control of the ball. Juggling is a fundamental skill that improves leg-eye coordination. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of adopting an external, internal, and neutral focus of attention while football juggling is performed. Twenty-two young male football players (age 10.6 ± 0.5 years) were asked to perform juggling with their dominant foot. Each participant completed three trials under the following conditions: under an external focus (the ball), under an internal focus (foot), and a control (no attentional instruction). Three sessions were conducted in a limited zone (3×3 meters), and three sessions were conducted in an unlimited zone. The use of external and internal foci resulted in a greater number of touches compared with the control condition in the unlimited zone. In turn, only the external instruction produced advantages for juggling compared with the internal and control conditions. These results show that instructions to adopt external and internal foci promoted football-specific skills. When the findings are taken as a whole, it is clear that directing attention externally should be prioritized for motor learning and performance in children.
