The effect of Special Exercises Using the Soccer Wave Tool in Developing Some Basic Soccer Skills for Second-Year Middle School Students

Abstract

The importance of the research included that the ball in the game of soccer is not always stable at ground level, as it changes direction and at different heights, so it requires working on basic skills in various situations, and here came the importance of the wave tool in soccer (soccer wave), because it This characteristic is met during daily training, as well as providing many options for the players and the coach to develop the skills of middle school students. The research problem was identified in the weakness of the students’ skills (handling and suppression) in football, despite their importance and being the most frequent in the game, so he decided The researchers studied this problem by developing special skill exercises using the soccer wave tool. One of the objectives of the research was: preparing special exercises using the soccer wave tool to develop some soccer skills for second-year middle school students. The researchers hypothesized Special exercises have a positive effect in developing some football skills for second-year intermediate students. The researchers used the experimental method by designing two experimental groups with a pre- and post-test. The sample was chosen intentionally, and they are a group of second-year intermediate students. In light of this, it was Reaching the most important conclusions, which are: The special exercises used by the researchers have a positive impact on developing the investigated skills in soccer, and the researchers recommend using the soccer wave tool to make performance close to real playing conditions. and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Good Health).
