This study evaluates the FIFA 11+ Kids Training Protocol, specifically its application to young female volleyball players. It compares it against standard warm-up routines in terms of enhancing motor skills and physical performance. The research anticipates that the FIFA 11+ principles will yield positive outcomes when integrated with existing knowledge of volleyball performance metrics. The study involved 34 young female volleyball players divided into an exercise group (15 players) and a control group (19 players). Initial assessments included anthropometric measurements and motor competence tests such as balancing backward, jumping sideways, moving sideways, and eye-hand coordination (KTK3+ tests). Subsequent sessions focused on physical and functional tests, including balance performance, agility (pro-agility test), vertical jump (countermovement jump test), and the functional movement screen (FMS) test. A two-way analysis of variance was used to compare the effects of the exercise versus the control group over time, revealing that the exercise group showed significant improvements in dynamic balance, KTK balancing backward, and KTK moving sideways. This study aims to provide innovative insights into the effectiveness of the FIFA 11+ Kids Training Protocol, highlighting its potential benefits in improving physical and motor competencies in young female volleyball players.
