The Most Important Kinetics Abilities for the Selection of Players Executing the Penalty Kick in Football under the Age of 14 Years

Abstract

Purpose of the study is to identify the most important kinetics abilities and their relationship to the selection of players executing the penalty kick in football under the age of 14 years. The researchers followed the descriptive approach in a survey style and correlative studies, and the research community included football players in sports talent care centers (Football Specialized School) in the Middle Euphrates governorates (Babylon, Najaf Al-Ashraf, and Diwaniyah), which numbered (150) players from those schools. The final application sample included (120) football players in the National Center for the Care of Sports Talent in the central Euphrates governorates (Babylon, Najaf Al-Ashraf, Al-Diwaniyah) with a percentage of (80%) of the original community of (150) players. The researchers concluded the following (there is a significant correlation between the accuracy of scoring and the execution of the penalty kick for football players under the age of 14 years and a predictive equation for the execution of the penalty kick in terms of the accuracy of scoring for soccer players under the age of 14 years).
