Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the skill component in female soccer players aged 13-14 in Tirana of Albania before planning a training program. The purpose of this study was to identify the skill component in female soccer players aged 13-14 from the city of Tirana in Albania before planning a specific training program. Method: The subjects are N.82 female soccer players taken from four teams in Tirana. Age: 13.5 ± 0.4 years, Body Height: 161.1 ± 3.82 cm, Body Weight: 51.74 ± 4.35 kg, BMI-kg/m2: 19.54 ± 3.32 %. Soccer players were field tested: Lateral Change of Direction (LCD), T-Test (T-T), 10 x 5 m Shuttle Run Test (SHRT) and Hexagon Test (H-T). Results: The data collected from the test are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD), maximum and minimum were calculated in Excel for each test developed. The results for tests are; H-T-16.7sec, SHRT 10x5m -19.6 sec, T-Test -14.8 sec and for LCD - 8.06sec. Conclusion: According to the results presented in low values, we think that there is a connection between the effect of age and biological maturation. But without overlooking the work of the trainers with these age groups during the training sessions.
