The data analysis used in this study was the MANOVA test through SPSS 25. Results of this Study (1). There is a difference in the effect of small side game training, combined small side game training with plyometric on skills with a significance of 0.000 < 0.05. (2) There is no difference in the effect of small side game training, combined small side game training with plyometric on agility 0.322 > 0.05. (3) There is a difference in the effect of small side game training, combined small side game training with plyometric on muscle power with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05.
