The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent bilateral power training and Group ‘B’ has not undergone any training. Kicking was assessed by McDonald soccer test and dribbling was assessed by Mor-Christian general football ability test. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training.
