Dribbling is one of the fundamental techniques in soccer that has not been optimally mastered by extracurricular students. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Small Sided Games training method on improving the dribbling ability of soccer extracurricular students at SMP IT Insan Kamil Kota Bima. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a one group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 25 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a dribbling skill test and a student response questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and hypothesis testing using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test because the sample size was fewer than 50 participants and the inferential analysis was adjusted based on the normality test results. The results showed an improvement in dribbling ability, indicated by an increase in the mean score from 67.24 to 81.16. The hypothesis test produced a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating that the Small Sided Games training method had a significant effect on improving dribbling ability. In addition, the questionnaire results showed positive responses from students toward the training method. Therefore, the Small Sided Games training method is effective in improving dribbling ability and enhancing students' motivation in soccer extracurricular activities.
