The article presents the results of the analysis of situational, personal, competitive anxiety and characterological features of 4 gymnasts of the main and 6 girls of the Pavlodar youth team in rhythmic gymnastics.

In this regard, there is a need to search for new ways and scientific and methodological developments to rationalize methods of teaching game techniques and the development of physical qualities, such as coordination abilities, which are well developed at the initial stage of training in rhythmic gymnastics. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of rhythmic gymnastics on the development of coordination abilities in young football players aged 7-10. The main method of obtaining results in the study of motor qualities was testing. It allowed us to determine the level of functional state of the cardiovascular system, as well as the level of development of coordination abilities, namely, rhythm, plasticity, accuracy, balance and orientation in space. As a result of the experiment, the effectiveness of the developed program was revealed. The results of the study showed that the use of elements of rhythmic gymnastics bring a variety of tools to the lesson and allow the coach to fully meet the physiological requirements of this age. The rhythmic gymnastics program can be widely used in children's football institutions, as the level of coordination abilities of athletes increases in the course of training, and better conditions are provided for the formation of skills to manage their movements, that is, to act purposefully, productively, and economically.
