Most research on physical activity of children shows that frequent physical activity affects the development of motor abilities. Quality work with the youngest soccer players is a very difficult task that requires a well-educated coach and it is very important, because further develepoment depends on it, especially on their sports career.
Our goal was to establish whether the physical abilities of children who practice soccer in FC Kamnik differ from those who practice soccer at extra curriculum sport activities.
32 children participated in research, 16 was included in soccer practice in FC Kamnik, the other 16 was included in soccer practice at extra curriculum sport activities. 5 tests that measures basic and soccer motor abilities, were used in our research. The obtained results were analyzed with the SPSS statistical program.
The data showed that there are some statistical differences between both groups. Pupils, who train football in FC Kamnik, in average, achieved better results in fast direction changing run and ball control with direction changing. While pupils, who practice soccer at extra curriculum sport activities, were surprisingly better in 20 meters sprint, standing long jump and in backwards obstacle course, ascending and descending. But differences between groups in this three tests were smaller, than differences between groups in other two tests.
