Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of serial and sequential practice methods on the bilateral skill of the instep drive in soccer. Forty-five fifth grade boys and girls from a local elementary school were used for the study. It was a pre-test, post-test repeated measure design, and treatment consisted of 5 days of practice. Prior to each day's practice attempts, the subjects were given a demonstration of a different aspect of the instep dive. Two variables, accuracy and velocity, were measured to determine the quality of the instep drive. The results of the study showed that both practice order groups lowered their accuracy and velocity scores. The inability to produce an improvement in skill was attributed to a change in the subjects' technique and the scoring system utilized.
