The aim of our present contribution was to create a training program containing gymnastic elements and to verify the effect on physical abilities of young footballers. Our created program contained ten exercises. The research group was made up of twenty young footballers aged 10 - 11 years. It was quasi-experiment, specifically Time series design. We did the input testing, than nine weeks was a classical training, than we did a second testing, than we applied our created training program for nine weeks and at the end we did the output testing. Testing was performed using a structured Denisiuk test which includes five sub-tests that measure physical abilities of youth. We statistically verified the results using a pair t - test at the level of significance 0.05. Then we calculated the substantive significance of results. Improvements occurred in all tests but t - test came out only for tests measuring explosive strength and endurance. T - test not came out for tests measuring speed, strength and coordination. Substantive significance of results of tests measuring explosive strength and endurance was high and substantive significance of results of tests measuring speed, strength and coordination was medium.
