Background
Innovative sports like Teqball offer new opportunities to enhance physical fitness, motor coordination, and student engagement in higher education, especially in physical education programs. Despite its global growth, Teqball remains unfamiliar to many academic institutions in Indonesia.
Objectives
This community service project aimed to introduce Teqball to students of the Physical Education Department at Universitas Muhammadiyah Palu as an innovative and engaging sport that could support both curricular and extracurricular development.
Methods
The activity utilized a participatory approach, comprising four main stages: (1) an educational session on Teqball’s history, development, and rules; (2) a live demonstration of core techniques; (3) hands-on practice in small groups under instructor supervision; and (4) a reflective discussion and evaluation session.
Results
The program generated strong interest and enthusiasm among participants. Students gained foundational knowledge of Teqball, improved their motor coordination and ball control skills, and expressed a high level of interest in developing the sport further within the campus environment.
Conclusion
Introducing Teqball proved effective in enhancing students’ awareness, physical skills, and motivation toward alternative sports. It is recommended that universities incorporate Teqball into their sports programs and consider it as a valuable tool for physical education and community engagement.
