Development of Small Sided Games Training Variations in the Game of Hockey

This research aims to produce a product in the form of a book about exercise variations of small sided games. The subjects in this study were 10 athletes for small group trials and 20 athletes for large group trials. The product in this research has been designed and then validated by 2 material experts, namely, a material expert, a hockey coach expert and an expert in small sided games hockey.
