This study aims to determine the extent of the development of the sport of kabaddi among students at SMA Negeri 3 Tebing Tinggi.

Methods

The method used was quantitative descriptive survey. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of 20 items grouped into four main indicators: students' prior knowledge of Kabaddi, obstacles in introducing Kabaddi, student interest and participation, and expectations for the development of Kabaddi. The study subjects were 15 students who actively participate in Kabaddi activities.

Results

The results showed that the majority of students (73.3%) were in the adequate category, and the remainder (26.7%) were in the good category. No students were in the very good or poor categories. The main factors influencing these results were limited facilities, lack of socialization, and the absence of a structured guidance system.

Conclusion

No students achieved either the "very good" or "poor" categories. This indicates that students' understanding, participation, and interest in Kabaddi have not developed optimally.
