The article presents the indicators of physical fitness of volleyball players aged 9-11 and their changes after the introduction of sets of exercises on the coordination ladder in the educational and training process. It was found that the indicators of physical fitness under the influence of our method are improving, and these changes are significant and statistically significant (p <0,05). The most significant improvement was determined by the indicators of coordination abilities, speed - strength qualities and speed (p <0.05), the results of flexibility, endurance and strength also improved, but no significant changes were observed (p> 0.05).
The study involved 40 athletes aged 9 to 11 years. For 6 months, special exercises on the coordination ladder were included in the training process of the experimental group along with the program material. Namely: jumps from different starting positions, rotational movements in motion, various accelerations, jumping exercises, a combination of jumping and running exercises, which were performed with a gradual increase in their coordination complexity. The exercises were performed both in the main and in the opposite direction, and also, various acrobatic modified exercises were included in the classes, which were combined with the above-mentioned exercises and technical simulation techniques of the game. Testing was performed according to generally accepted methods.
