The aim of the study was to compare the level of motor coordination with the ball of football players from different practice locations, considering the time of practice and the competitive experience. Twenty-four boys were evaluated (9 of franchised schools and 15 of neighborhood associations) aged 10 to 12 years. The measurement instrument used was the Motor Coordination Test with Ball. Among the results, there was no statistically significant difference in the scores for the time of practice in the modality and for the competitive experience. The football practitioners of the neighborhood association obtained a better level of coordination in the ability to transport the ball with foot (p=0,031) and by hand (p=0,003). On the other hand, the franchised football school practitioners obtained a better coordinating level in the ability to conduct the ball on the line (p=0,006). It was concluded that the time of practice in football, as well as the competitive experience were not determining factors to obtain higher scores in the tasks of motor coordination with ball and, that in the different practice locations, sometimes the ability to transport the ball and sometimes conduction on the line stood out for the neighborhood association and the franchised school, respectively, which indicates the need to assess the coordination capacity with the ball as an indication of the development of sports skills.
