Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and independent t-test at the 0.05 level of significance.

The result showed that distance covered by walking in the low experience group was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the high experience group. The analysis of offensive skill showed that the low experience group was significantly spent number of shot pass more (P<0.05) than the high experience group.
