This study aims to liken the two training types of playing football. The training method consists of a part-whole
method. It establishes the interaction between training types and self-confidence toward the skill of playing football.
Self-confidence consists of high and low types. This research was held at the Faculty of Sport Sciences (FSS) football
field, Universitas Negeri Makassar. The analysis method applied in this research is a 2x2 factorial design using a two
way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test at a significance level of α = 0.05 for the follow-through test. The
40 students, employed as the sample, were separated into four groups, ten students for each group. Firstly, the results
are the skill of playing football using the whole-method is better than those using the part-method (FA = 4.842 > =
4.113). Secondly, the interaction factor between training method along with self-confidence and the skill of playing
football exists. (FAB = 38.033 > = 4.113). Thirdly, for groups of high self-confidence, students trained using part
method (mean 256.2212) were better than those using the whole-method (average = 243.4639) toward the skill of
playing football. Fourthly, for low self-confidence groups, students trained using the whole-method (mean =
265.8223) are better than those who use part-method (mean = 238,9129) toward playing football skills
