Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Kajian ini bertujuan membina bateri ujian pengenalpastian bakat bola sepak pemain lelaki   bawah   14   tahun.   Kajian   ini   menggunakan   reka   bentuk   kajian   tinjauan  (cross-sectional).  Seramai  208  orang  pemain  bola  sepak  lelaki  bawah  14  dipilih menjadi  sampel kajian menggunakan kaedah persampelan rawak berstrata. Instrumen kajian   yang   terdiri    daripada   sejarah   latihan,   antropometri,   kecergasan   fizikal, kemahiran  teknikal,   kebolehan  bermain  bola  sepak,  kemahiran  taktikal,  psikologi, sosiologi,  persekitaran  dan   penilaian  subjektif  jurulatih  mempunyai  nilai  kesahan (r = .82 – .96), kebolehpercayaan (r =  .81 – .99) dan objektiviti (r = .91 – .99) yang tinggi. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan  statistik deskriptif dan inferensi. Analisis faktor  menunjukkan  20  item  mewakili  soal  selidik   kemahiran  taktikal,  50  item mewakili  soal  selidik  psikologi  dan  35  item  mewakili  soal   selidik  sokongan  sosial. Analisis   regresi   berganda   menunjukkan   kesemua   variabel    peramal   mempunyai pengaruh yang signifikan ke atas kebolehan bermain bola sepak [R Squared =  .703, F(58, 149) = 6.080, p = .000]. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan jumlah jam seminggu latihan   bola  sepak,  jumlah  jam  seminggu  perlawanan  bola  sepak,  ketinggian,  berat badan, indeks  jisim tubuh, lompat jauh berdiri, Yo-Yo intermittent recovery tahap satu, keupayaan  pecut   berulang  Bangsbo,  hantaran  jauh,  menggelecek,  transisi  bertahan kepada  menyerang,  transisi   menyerang  kepada  bertahan,  keyakinan  diri,  motivasi, sokongan  jurulatih,  kesan  umur   relatif  dan  penilaian  subjektif  jurulatih  mempunyai korelasi  yang  signifikan  ke  atas   kebolehan  bermain  bola  sepak.  Analisis  deskriptif menunjukkan Skor Indeks Peramal Bakat Bola  Sepak dapat dibina berdasarkan skor instrumen  ujian  pengenalpastian  bakat  bola  sepak  pemain   lelaki  bawah  14  tahun. Kesimpulannya, bateri ujian pengenalpastian bakat bola sepak boleh  digunakan untuk mengukur  prestasi  pemain  lelaki  bawah  14  tahun.  Implikasi  kajian   menunjukkan penggunaan bateri ujian pengenalpastian bakat bola sepak dapat membantu jurulatih dan  pasukan pencarian bakat dalam proses pemilihan pemain lelaki bawah 14 tahun.
