Data was collected by testing  30-meter sprint (speed), agility t-test (agility), and run 10 meters (acceleration) during the pretest and posttest. Furthermore, the data was analyzed using paired sample t-tes and indevendent t-test. The results showed: that there was  a significant effect of speed, agility and quickness training program in imrpoving in speed, agility and acceleration.
