The Effect Of Repeated Passing Training On Futsal Passing Accuracy Among Seventh-Grade Students At Smp Negeri 4 Mesuji Raya

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of repeated passing training on futsal passing accuracy among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Mesuji Raya.

Materials and Methods: This research used a quantitative experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 13 male seventh-grade students who joined the futsal extracurricular program at SMP Negeri 4 Mesuji Raya and were selected using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of repeated passing training designed to improve technical execution, coordination, and target accuracy. Passing accuracy was measured using a futsal passing accuracy test before and after the training program. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test with SPSS version 26.

Results: The mean pretest score was 4.92, while the mean posttest score increased to 7.92. The mean improvement was 3.00 points, equivalent to 60.98%. The Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the pretest and posttest data were normally distributed, with significance values of 0.173 and 0.200, respectively. The homogeneity test showed a significance value of 0.459. The paired sample t-test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, with t = 12.846, t-table = 2.179, and p = 0.000.

Conclusions: Repeated passing training had a significant positive effect on improving futsal passing accuracy among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 4 Mesuji Raya. This training model can be recommended as a practical strategy for improving basic futsal passing skills in school extracurricular programs.
