Dribbling performance in youth football depends on technical control as well as physical and visual-motor capacities. This study examined the relationships of agility and eye-foot coordination with dribbling performance among players of SSB Buayan Putra, Padang Pariaman. A quantitative correlational design was used. Fourteen players aged 12-16 years were selected through purposive sampling from a population of 30 players. Agility was assessed using the Illinois Agility Test, eye-foot coordination using the Soccer Wall Volley Test, and dribbling using a zig-zag dribbling test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Lilliefors normality test, product-moment correlation, multiple correlation, t-tests, and an F-test at a 0.05 significance level. Agility was significantly associated with dribbling (r=0.718; t=3.57), as was eye-foot coordination (r=0.676; t=3.18). Together, agility and eye-foot coordination were significantly related to dribbling performance (R=0.728; F=6.18). The findings indicate that youth dribbling programs should combine change-of-direction practice with ball control and visual-motor coordination exercises.
