The importance of the research was to prepare special exercises and apply them to Samawa Club basketball players, as well as to identify the effect of these exercises, especially on the strength distinguished by speed in the legs and hands of Samawa Club players. As for the problem of the research, it lies in the following questions (Do special exercises have an effect in developing the strength and speed of the hands and feet for Samawa Club players? Do these special exercises have an effect in developing basketball shooting accuracy for Samawa Club players?).While the objectives of the research were to prepare special exercises and apply them to the Samawa Club players’ basketball players, and to identify the effect of the exercises, especially on the strength and speed of the legs and hands for the Samawa Club players. The researchers used the experimental approach because it is compatible with the research problem. The researchers concluded from their findings that the special exercises, which include (strength-accompanying skill) exercises prepared by the researchers, have a positive impact on developing the strength characterized by speed in the arms and legs and the accuracy of basketball shooting for Samawa Club players. Accordingly, the researchers recommend that the training units include strength exercises in addition to skill exercises because of their positive impact on developing basketball skills, as well as conducting other studies by applying special exercises and knowing their effect on basketball skills, which the researchers did not address.
