Background: Developing motor coordination and sensory perception is essential for skill mastery in youth soccer. Specific Background: Traditional training often isolates technical skills without integrating perception and coordination. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies have examined the holistic educational programs targeting these three dimensions simultaneously. Aims: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an educational program in developing motor coordination, sensory perception, and scoring accuracy among youth soccer players. Results: The findings revealed significant improvement in all three variables for the experimental group compared to the control group, confirming the program’s efficiency. Novelty: The study introduces an integrated training approach combining motor and sensory learning principles. Implications: These results suggest that structured educational programs can enhance both physiological and perceptual components in young athletes, supporting comprehensive motor development in soccer.
Highlights:
• Integrated educational training improved coordination and scoring accuracy.
• Sensory perception development contributed to performance precision.
• Supports holistic training in youth soccer programs.
