Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study design is Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT). The sample size was calculated from epitool software. This study would include total n= 20 participants which would be divided equally into Group A- ladder Training (n=9) and Group B-balance Training (n=9). The study will be conducted in Bahria Football Academy. Modified Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) assesses dynamic balance while performance include Vertical Jump, Dribbling, 30m Sprint, and Illinois Agility evaluation at baseline and after 6th-weeks. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 28.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A
9 participants will be in experimental group A and will perform ladder training protocol including two foot run, Ladder traps, Lateral angle leg hops, Single leg forward hop, two-foot lateral run, Fight shuffle exercises.
Ladder Training
9 participants will perform only Ladder training exercise protocol. The training schedule included exercises such as Two foot run, Ladder traps, Lateral angle leg hops, Single leg forward hop, two-foot lateral run, Fight shuffle, Skiers, Carioca, Lateral in out, two in two out, Intermediate high knee run, Straddle squat hops, two foot laterals hop in \& out, Two-foot lateral hop, Ali shuffle, 180 Degree rotation, jumping jacks' variation, Advanced in in out, Quick hops cotch, Icky shuffle etc. For each session, ten stations were used and participants change the partner after every end of steps jumping exercise and continued each exercise at least 3 set, depending on the class design(22).
Group B
9 participants will be in experimental group B and will perform balance training protocol including balance and landing activities incorporating wobble boards and change of direction activities
balance training
9 participants will perform balance training protocol. The balance training program includes exercises based around balance development in unilateral dynamic balancing positions. The program included balance and landing activities incorporating wobble boards and change of direction activities.
