 The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of a soccer teaching program designed to help students improve both individual physical fitness and their attitude towards it, as well as gaining basic understanding. The subjects were 41 junior high school students. Before and after the program, we conducted skill tests (ball juggling) and physical fitness tests (150 m sprint with a change in direction; 6×25-m sprints with direction changes and rest intervals of 30 s). Additionally, we conducted a test soccer game. At the end of each class, a questionnaire was conducted and the subjects' technical skills, physical fitness, and psychological aspects were self-assessed. After completing the program, another questionnaire was conducted regarding skill, attitude, and knowledge, conception and judgment aspects.
 When the pre-program and post-program test results were compared, the following were observed after completion of the program:
1) The subjects' ball juggling skills had improved significantly.
2) The mean time for the 150-m sprint with a change in direction had improved significantly.
3) The distance subjects were able to run during the test soccer game showed no significant difference.
4) The results of the questionnaire at the end of each class showed that students thought they had improved in terms of outcomes, ball kicking skills, ball dribbling, interception, and positioning. With regard to physical fitness, the subjects felt that their anaerobic power and anaerobic capacity had improved.
5) The after-program questionnaire showed that 94.1% of the subjects had improved their understanding about how physical fitness is related to soccer.
 These results suggest that this soccer teaching program improved physical fitness levels, knowledge and attitude toward physical fitness among the participating subjects.
