This study was conducted on the research topic "comparative study on the effects of command and reciprocal teaching styles in developing the students’ football skills." To undertake it, an experimental study design and a quantitative study approach were employed. An experimental design was used to test a research hypothesis. The data were analyzed by a one-way betweengroups ANOVA, ANCOVA, paired sample t-test and post hoc test. 69 students were chosen at random using a sample random technique and divided into three groups. Those students were grouped into two teaching style groups and one control group through a lottery technique. Eight weeks of training was enough for the retention of the acquired psychomotor skills of students. The data collected from the study subject was analyzed using SPSS version 23 software and a level of significance of p≤0.05. The major finding of this study was that significant improvement has been obtained as a result of either the reciprocal or command style of teaching on students basic skills of football including passing, dribbling, and shooting. However, between the reciprocal and command teaching styles there have no significant differences obtained in the development of the students’ football basic skills. Consequently, teachers should be familiar with reciprocal and command teaching styles have no significant difference in the development of the students’ football basic skills including passing, dribbling, and shooting suitable to achieve the intended learning outcome.
