no significant improvement tackling skill execution
between TGfU with TM among Indian junior players,
probably due to short intervention period of 5 weeks (12
lesson). Therefore subject’s needs longer period of
training in order to improve skill execution of tackling
performance

5.3 Speed and Accuracy Executing General
Hockey Skills

Findings revealed that there was no significant
improvement in speed of executing general hockey skill
after invention using TGfU model. This present findings
contra with the finding of Turner and Martinek (1999).
This result probably due to short period of intervention
period meted out in this present study. However, future
research in TGfU need to organize the game at higher
level of intensity and explosive method of playing mini
game in order to improve speed of executing general
hockey skills On the other hand, as for accuracy
executing hockey general hockey skill among players in
TGfU group indicated significant improvement. Thus
this findings similar with the finding of Turner and
Martinek (1999). Therefore, this finding supports the
importance of mini game activity via TGfU to enhance
accuracy executing hockey skills. As accuracy proven to
be an important element in scoring goal in hockey game
(Aziz, Chia & Teh, 2000; Wassmer & Mookerjee, 2002).
TGfU through mini game activity enable the players to
posses better neuromotor coordination. This findings
parallel with the motor learning principle players have
better neuromuscular, eye-leg coordination, fast reflexes,
motivation and high concentration (Wrisberg, 1993). The
