Improving Volleyball Overhead Passing Learning Outcomes Through Hanging Ball Media for Fifth Grade Students of SD 064006 Marelan
type: item
description: Background The main problem currently faced is the lack of specific training to improve passing. Many youth teams still train conventionally without paying special attention to game patterns involving give-and-go. As a result, players are not yet accustomed to more dynamic movement patterns and often lose momentum in games. If this situation is allowed to persist, the development of athletes' passing techniques will stagnate. Objectives This study aims to determine the effect of give-and-go passing training on the passing ability of SSB Dragons FC players in Sipispis District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Methods This study used an experimental method with a single-group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects in this study were 16 players. Data were collected through passing skill tests before and after the training sessions over 16 sessions. Results The average score increased from 6.5 in the pre-test to 9.2 in the post-test, indicating an improvement in the players' passing skills. Normality and homogeneity tests showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. However, the t-test results showed a calculated t of 1.500 < ttable 2.042 at a significance level of 0.05, indicating a statistically insignificant improvement. Nevertheless, in practice, give-and-go passing training positively contributed to the players' passing skills. Therefore, this training method is recommended as an approach to developing basic soccer techniques for young players. Conclusion The average score increased from 6.5 in the pre-test to 9.2 in the post-test, indicating an improvement in the players' passing skills. Normality and homogeneity tests showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. However, the t-test results showed a calculated t of 1.500 < ttable 2.042 at a significance level of 0.05, indicating a statistically insignificant improvement.
