Background
Football is a globally popular sport that emphasizes teamwork and technical skills, especially passing. Many young players struggle with passing accuracy due to limited practice, inadequate coaching strategies, and monotonous training methods
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the effect of a varied training model on improving passing skills among students at Nggaro Lembo Football School in Bima, Indonesia.
Methods
A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was used. The study involved 20 male students selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of eight training sessions incorporating various passing drills, including triangle passing, gate passing, and 4v1 rondo games. Data were collected using a standardized football passing skill test administered before and after the training. Statistical analysis was conducted using paired sample t-tests with a significance level of 0.05.
Results
The results indicated a significant improvement in post-test scores (M = 16.65, SD = 3.12) compared to pre-test scores (M = 14.05, SD = 2.93), with p < 0.001. The data met the assumptions of normality and homogeneity.
Conclusion
The varied training model significantly improved passing skills among students. It is recommended that coaches utilize diverse and game-based training strategies to enhance technical performance and maintain player motivation.
