Abstract: The research aims to analyze agility in terms of the defender, midfielder, and striker positions of football players. The research method is descriptive quantitative with a retrospective approach. Participants are ten players divided into four defenders, three midfielders, and three strikers. Participants were male football players aged 14-15 years. The sampling technique is purposive, namely with the criteria (1) in the same club, (2) core players, and (3) already having experience competing at the regional level. Data collection techniques through observation and tests. Data analysis techniques for comparison of the Wallis curve and Post Hoc tests. The research instrument is arrowhead agility. The right arrowhead agility research results obtained a significance of 0.35<0.05, and the left arrowhead agility was 0.089>0.05. Post hoc results arrowhead agility right midfielder-striker 0.891 >0.05, midfielder-defender 0.024<0.05, striker-defender 0.034<0.05. It was concluded that there was a significant difference in the agility of the right arrowhead in the positions of midfielder-defender and striker-defender. There was no significant difference between striker-midfielder. There is no significant difference in the overall left arrowhead. It is hoped that even though this research is simple, it will provide information for academics and football coaches to continue to develop agility optimally with more specific methods.
