In the work, an analysis of educational and methodical literature was carried out regarding the amount of physical exertion of mini-football players, where one of the main factors of the stability of high sports results shown by athletes in competitions is the rational construction of the training process in the preparatory period. The optimal ratio of training loads by types of training was determined. Quantitative indicators are considered as model characteristics of physical training of mini-football players, characterizing the level of development of basic motor skills. It was determined that the main factor affecting the competitive performance of football players is the rational regulation of the parameters of the physical, technical and tactical components of training loads at various stages of the preparatory period. Methodical recommendations on training loads in the preparatory period have been developed. Key words: mini-football, training methods, load, training process, preparatory period.
