Background. The shuttlecock game has received more attention in Vietnam in recent years as it is easy to play, and the high achievements of the national shuttlecock team in various international tournaments have also attracted Vietnamese people. As this kind of game requires the players to have more technical skills, there should be a highly demanding training program for better success. Objectives. This study evaluated the effects of a 12-week training program on the attacking skills of shuttlecock female athletes aged 14-15 from two teams in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Methods. Due to the limited number of shuttlecock players in each team (03 players), only twelve female adolescent shuttlecock athletes (14 to 15 years) were conveniently and randomly chosen for the experimental group (EG) (n=6) and the control group (CG) (n=6). The experimental group was given twenty-six exercises to practice and improve their attacking skills. The training program included 6 sessions per week, with 30-35 minutes of practicing the striking shuttlecock techniques, one of the attacking skills in the shuttlecock game. At the same time, the control group was given a permanent training program with a focus on comprehensive skills designed earlier. Results. After the treatment, the mean values of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group. Concurrently, the percent change of the experimental group was also better than that of the control group. Conclusion. A 12-week training program with 13 supplementary technical exercises could improve the technical performance of young female shuttlecock athletes.
