Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a Small sided games-based training program on some of the skill requirements of basketball players under the age of 16. The experimental method was used with a single-group design to complete this study, which was conducted on a sample of 14 players from the S.O.C.A. Annaba club. To evaluate skill performance, researchers used a series of field tests conducted in two stages (pre and post-test), with two tests used: one related to the passing skill of basketball players, represented by the passing accuracy test, and the other specific to the skill of dribbling, represented by the dribbling speed test. The study's overall findings revealed statistically significant differences between the results of the pre and post tests for the study sample, which are the basic skills under study. It was discovered that the training program designed in the form of Small sided games has positively contributed to the improvement and development of skills (passing, dribbling) among basketball players.
