The aims of this research are the following :-- Identifying the effect of certain skill exercises on the development of speed endurance for football players- Identifying the effect of these exercises on developing certain functional variables for football players Hypotheses- The suggested skill exercises have a positive effect on developing speed endurance for football players.- The suggested skill exercises have a positive effect on developing certain functional variables for football playersProcedures:The researcher used empirical procedures due to its appropriateness to the nature of the research. The sample was (20) players of AL-Rashidiya football team chosen intentionally and divided into two groups, each group consisted of (10) players. Equivalence and agreement was done between both groups in (age, height, mass), speed endurance, and other certain functional variables. The suggested program was applied, it lasted (4 weeks) falling into (4) training sessions a week, i.e. (16) training units. Then, the post test was done using the same procedures used on the pre-test. Data were statistically analyzed using (Mathematical means, standard deviation) and T- test for two combined means for equal samples.Conclusions:Skill exercises did have a development regarding speed endurance and some functional variables for football players.Recommendations:The urge to use skill exercises in training during periods of private and general preparation in football. Suggestions:Initiate a similar study using other skill exercises.
