CHANGES IN FUTSAL PASSING ACCURACY AFTER A RONDO TRAINING PROGRAM

Abstract

This study quantified changes in target-passing accuracy after rondo training among junior-high-school futsal extracurricular participants. A one-group pretest–posttest design included all 18 participants at SMP IT Al-Asy’ari Reban Tebu. Players completed 10 target passes at each assessment—five with each foot—and received one point for every successful attempt. The manuscript reports 16 rondo sessions. Paired scores were analyzed using a paired-samples t test. Mean accuracy increased from 3.83±1.54 to 6.39±1.33 successful passes. The mean increase was 2.56 points (95% CI 2.10–3.01), t(17)=11.762, p<.001, with a large paired effect (dₙ=2.77). Target-passing scores improved during rondo training. Because the study lacked a control group and did not fully document the intervention or test reliability, the change cannot be attributed exclusively to rondo practice.
