Objective: To identify the relationship between attentional control and shooting accuracy for players on the University of Diyala futsal team.
Research methodology: The researcher used the descriptive approach using the correlational method because it is the most appropriate method for the nature of the problem and achieving the study's objectives. The (University of Diyala) futsal team players, (16), represented the research players for the 2024-2025 academic year; the research sample was randomly selected by lottery, comprising 14 players, representing 87% of the research community. Two (2) players were excluded from the exploratory study, as they were not part of the main sample.
Result: Researchers note that the arithmetic mean for the attentional control test was (7.34), while the arithmetic mean for the scoring accuracy test was (14.32). The calculated (r) value was (-0.434). When compared to the tabular (r) value at a significance level of (0.05) and a degree of freedom of (13), which was (0.532), a significant correlation between attentional control and scoring accuracy in futsal is evident. The researcher attributes this to the fact that attentional control is an important variable in sports competitions, especially those that require concentration, rapid perception, and the ability to analyze logically based on the foundations of the sports training process.
Conclusions: The research sample exhibits a level of attentional control while performing the shooting skill in futsal, the research sample exhibits good performance in performing the shooting skill in futsal, and there is a significant correlation between attentional control and shooting accuracy in futsal.
