The purpose of the study was to examine and compare the effect of small sided games and interval training on physical fitness like cardiovascular endurance, speed, agility power and flexibility among soccer players. To achieve the purpose of this study, 32 female soccer trainees/players were purposely selected as subjects from Ethiopian Youth Sport Academy. Their age ranged from 16 to 20 years. The selected participants were pretested together then purposely categorized in two groups after making single blind randomization based on pretest result and training year experience in the academy. such as Group 1 underwent small sided games training (n=16) and group2 underwent interval training (n=16) for three days per week and one session per day and each session lasted for 60-75m for small sided game training group, 55-80m for interval training group for ten weeks. The data on cardiovascular endurance, speed, agility, power and flexibility were collected by administering by yoyo intermittent recovery test level 2, 30M acceleration, Illinois agility test, vertical jump and sit & rich. The pre and posttests data were collected on selected criterion variables prior and immediately after the training program. The pre and posttest scores were statistically examined by the independent sample t test and paired’-test for each and every selected variable separately. It was concluded that the small sided games training had shown significantly improved in cardiovascular endurance, agility, power and flexibility. Interval training had shown significantly improved in cardiovascular endurance, speed and power. Based on these findings, a few recommendations were made. These include full integration of small-sided games to soccer training for skill development, use of interval training should be much more emphasized off-season to maintain fitness level and more variation of small-sided games could be designed by the coaches to foster the skills improvement.
