This study examined the differences in fundamental motor skills (FMSs) and specific conditioning capacities (SCCs) between a coach's classification of first team (FT) and second team (ST) U10 soccer players and examined the most important qualities based on how the coach differentiates them. The FT ( = 12; M = 9.72 ± 0.41) and ST ( = 11; M = 9.57 ± 0.41) soccer players were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2, standing long jump, sit and reach, diverse sprints, and the 20 m multistage fitness test (MSFT). The coach's subjective evaluation of players was obtained using a questionnaire. No significant differences existed between the FT and ST in any variables ( > 0.05). However, large and moderate effect sizes were present in favour of the FT group in locomotor skills (d = 0.82 (0.08, 1.51)), gross motor quotient (d = 0.73 (0.00, 1.41)), height (d = 0.61 (-0.12, 1.29)), MSFT (d = 0.58 (-0.14, 1.25)), and maximum oxygen uptake (VO) (d = 0.55 (-0.17, 1.22)). Furthermore, the coach perceived the FT group as having greater technical and tactical qualities relative to ST players. This suggests that it might be more relevant for players of this age to develop good FMS connected to technical skills, before focusing on SCC. Therefore, it might be beneficial for soccer coaches to emphasize the development of FMSs due to their potential to identify talented young soccer players and because they underpin the technical soccer skills that are required for future soccer success.
本研究调查了教练对U10足球一线队（FT）和二线队（ST）球员的分类在基本运动技能（FMS）和特定体能（SCC）方面的差异，并根据教练区分球员的方式研究了最重要的素质。使用《粗大运动发展测试-2》、立定跳远、坐位体前屈、不同短跑项目以及20米多级体能测试（MSFT）对FT组（n = 12；M = 9.72 ± 0.41）和ST组（n = 11；M = 9.57 ± 0.41）的足球运动员进行了评估。通过问卷调查获取了教练对球员的主观评价。FT组和ST组在任何变量上均无显著差异（p > 0.05）。然而，在运动技能（d = 0.82（0.08，1.51））、粗大运动商数（d = 0.73（0.00，1.41））、身高（d = 0.61（-0.12，1.29））、MSFT（d = 0.58（-0.14，1.25））和最大摄氧量（VO₂）（d = 0.55（-0.17，1.22））方面，存在有利于FT组的大效应量和中等效应量。此外，教练认为FT组相对于ST组球员具有更高的技术和战术素质。这表明，对于这个年龄段的球员来说，在专注于SCC之前，发展与技术技能相关的良好FMS可能更为重要。因此，足球教练强调FMS的发展可能是有益的，因为它们有潜力识别有天赋的年轻足球运动员，并且它们是未来足球成功所需的足球技术技能的基础。
