Objective: The aim of this research was to identify the effect of specific skill training on the shooting accuracy of football under-15 players.
Research methodology: The researcher used an experimental approach on a sample of players from specialized centers affiliated with the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The researcher used skill tests (control, dribbling, and shooting) and conducted several administrative procedures to begin implementing the research mechanisms. He then began applying the curriculum components to the experimental research sample on March 1, 2025, corresponding to Saturday, at the Al-Shaab International Stadium/Specialized Center in Baghdad. The implementation of the main experiment (training approach) on the experimental research sample took a period of one month.
Results: The results showed significant differences and a positive effect of specific skill training on developing shooting accuracy.
Conclusions: Compound drills are more important than single drills because they are used in player development. Furthermore, players who practice more than one skill will be able to use these skills better during fast-paced, realistic play.
