Effect of Specific Drill Training on Shooting Ability of School-Level Football Players

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of specific drill training on the shooting ability of school-level football players. Shooting ability is a crucial technical skill that directly influences scoring opportunities and match outcomes in football. Thirty school-level football players participated in a six-week specific drill training programme. A single-group pre-test and post-test experimental design was adopted. Shooting ability was measured using the Kicking Accuracy Test. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in shooting ability following the training intervention. The calculated t-value (8.51) exceeded the tabulated value (2.045) at the 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that specific drill training significantly improves shooting ability among school-level football players.
