Psychomotoric functions were analyzed by establishing the duration of simple psychomotoric reaction to light stimulus and minimal movement frequency in 10-s. The methods of the research are set out by Skernevičius, Raslanas, Dadelienė (2004). It was estimated that somatic and physiometric indices of physical development of Lithuanian boys of age 15-16, who attend football trainings, are very close to the indices of those of the same age who are less physically active. Analysed young football players did not have high indices of running speed, high jump and quickness. The indices of anaerobic power also were not any higher than those with low physical activity. Comparative indices of VO2max were equal to the data of Lithuanian schoolchildren research. Functional capacity of blood circulation system was at average level. The data of psychomotoric research did not have considerable supremacy over non-trained persons. The very essential problem of football players’ selection and purposeful training have been highlighted. Lithuanian Football Federation and other sport organizations, with the help of scientific institutions, should pay attention to it. Reference value scales of physical development, physical and functional capacity will help to do better selection of youngsters to football schools and to evaluate their preparedness development better.

Trainings and competitions also foster a sense of self-confidence (76.3%), teach to persevere decisively (69.9%), to be fair and responsible in task performance (67.7%), etc. 93 respondents were divided into two age groups: 8-13 and 14-17 years old. Their answers were estimated using a coefficient of statistical reliability p<0.05. The determining factors, for instance, a sports club/ school near their living place and possibility to enjoy friendship with other athletes, made children prefer football trainings to other sports. The results show that other decisive factors in favour of football were related to personal competences such as ability to seek and to receive support from parents, moral values such as discipline, courage and responsibility rate differently. In fact, football is a highly attractive form of selfexpression for children and youth through which moral values and personal competencies are being developed.

The team players in two matches have made 25.3 % and 28.7 % passes forward, 12.9 % and 12.0 % were long passes and crosses, 11.0 % and 9.1 % – long passes. In two matches centre midfielders made 34.1 % and 31.8 % of the total number of actions, wingers – 26.8 % and 25.2 % and centre midfielders were much successful as wingers. Defenders made 14.2 – 18.6 % of the total number of actions and unsuccessful actions from them were 31.4 – 35.4 %. The goalkeepers’ part of all actions in two different matches was quite similar – 5.6 % and 5.3 %. Attackers had the highest error rate – 47.9 % and 43.3 %. Our method showed individual positional actions as well as the whole team actions during a match. This analysis shows the efficiency of training system and on that ground these results gives feedback how to improve the education of special competencies of young soccer players.

Very good evaluation on defence and attack actions, as well as on improvisation of individual actions and improvisation on both group and team actions was provided by 10 to 30 percent of football players. Very high risk level was expressed by 30% of the players. The subjects demonstrated a very high level of self-confidence in family (70%), in life and school environment (60%), during training sessions (50%) and matches (50%), however, when performing the crucial shot, the very high level of self-confidence was demonstrated only by 10 percent of the respondents. 90 percent of the respondents stated being attentive in getting the coach appointed tasks. In their training sessions, all the interrogated players were striving to precisely follow and perform the movements, demonstrated to them. Only 10 percent of the respondents reported that they additionally addressed their coach for better cognition of the appointed tasks. 60 percent of the players were interested in the game technique of the best football players. 55 percent of respondents perfected their individual technique selfdependently and in self-supervised way. 40 percent of the players were learning from their teammates during the training sessions. Even 95 percent of the respondents reported they were following the team game disciple during training sessions and competitions. In case of failure, 75 percent of the players did not address their parents for assistance.
