Background: Football is a team sport; players often have fierce ball disputes to limit the opponent's ability, resulting in a lot of physical consumption. Objective: To evaluate the professional development of physical fitness for U10 five-a-side football teams, this study introduces several exercises to test and improve their physical strength. Methods: We introduce 5 tests, including long jump on the spot, 15-meter sprint, 5x30m sprints, 5-minute running, and 1-minute rope skipping. 6 months of training was divided into 3 phases with four 90-minute training sessions/week. Phase 1 was aimed for the players to adapt to normal training, phase 2 was to develop the maximum focus speed, and phase 3 was to develop professional physical strength. Results: The results show that after 6 months of training, the participants’ physical achievements in all tests have witnessed growth. The growth was statistically significant because t calculated > t standard at the possibility P < 0.05, especially in the test of rope skipping in one minute with the highest growth rate W = 9.47%. Conclusion: The results of this research can be used as a reference and scientific basis of general physical fitness development in football for kids to build training programs and improve their effectiveness.
