AimTaking as a particular case the sixth grade, it is imperiously necessary to approach the football themes in the physical education lesson from another angle, with a basis in the use of specific football means. Hypotheses: The study has the following hypotheses: 1. Leading the ball on various distances, and in different combinations of exercises, contributes to the improvement of the sixth grade pupils' technical skills. 2. The movement games under variated conditions contribute to the improvement of specific football skills in sixth grade pupils. MaterialThe experiment was conducted between February and April 2013 and consisted in applying a technical course to the sixth grade pupils from the "Mihail Sadoveanu" School in Bacau. For a better emphasis of the results, an initial and a final testing were done. The testing consisted in the subjects from the experimental and the witness group completing a technical course. The methods used in this research were: the observation, the experiment, the statistical-mathematical method. Results The analysis of the recorded data allows a few important observations at the end of the study: For the sixth graders, the initial tests were relatively similar, leading to ideas that are well-known by specialists in the field, that the general level of motor skills in middle school pupils is very low. Scoring goals being an action that involves a high degree of CNS decision making abilities, we can understand why puberty has this negative effect on the pupils' concentration and decision-making. Conclusions The novelty of introducing specific football means in the physical education lesson lead to an increase in the diversity of the used elements, which made me observe an improvement in the pupils' attention and involvement during classes. As means of the physical education, the game is of a real importance, due to its effects on the pupils' physical and intellectual development.
