Materials And Method: Thirty subjects were included in this research work and were divided into the Experimental and Control groups. The total study duration was 8 weeks. The FIFA 11+ programme was given to the Experimental group and regular training was given to the Control group. Pre- and post-test evaluations were done on the variables of agility and explosive strength with agility t test and vertical jump test. Results: Experimental group showed better clinical significance than Control Group for agility and explosive strength with t values of 5.4 and 5.7, respectively (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The FIFA 11+ programme was helpful in preventing injuries and improving performance among collegiate football players.
