To achieve the purpose of the study thirty school soccer players studying from Vels Vidhyshram School, Chennai and Christ wood School, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India were selected as subjects. The age of subjects ranged from 16 to 19 years. The thirty soccer players were divided into two groups of fifteen subjects each. Group I underwent Specific Soccer Training (SST), group II acted as control. The experimental group was subjected to the specific soccer training for weekly five days for twelve weeks. The specific soccer training was selected as independent variable and the criterion variables coordination and speed endurance selected as dependent variables and the selected dependent variables were assessed by standardized test items. Coordination was assessed by juggling test and speed endurance was assessed by 150 meters run test. The experiment design selected for this study was pre and posttest randomized design. The data were collected from before and after the training period and statistically analyzed by using Dependent ‘t’ test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). It was found that there was a significant improvement and significant different exist due to the effect of specific soccer training on coordination and speed endurance compared to control group.
