PENGARUH LATIHAN PASSING WALL TERHADAP KETEPATAN MENGUMPAN PADA ATLET SSB BATUKARANG USIA REMAJA 13-15 TAHUN TAHUN 2025

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of passing wall training on passing
accuracy among 13–15-year-old athletes of Batukarang Soccer School
(SSB Batukarang). Passing accuracy is one of the fundamental technical
skills in football that plays a crucial role in maintaining ball possession,
developing attacks, and improving teamwork. Preliminary observations
indicated that the athletes' passing accuracy was still below expectations,
highlighting the need for an effective training method to improve this skill.
This research employed a quasi-experimental method using a one-group
pre-test and post-test design. The participants consisted of 10 athletes
selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was the
Passing Accuracy Test, which was administered before (pre-test) and after
(post-test) the implementation of the passing wall training program. Data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test,
and the Paired Sample t-Test. The findings revealed that the mean pre-test
score of 70.3 increased to 86.1 in the post-test, indicating an improvement
of 15.8 points. The normality test showed that both pre-test and post-test
data were normally distributed (Sig. = 0.172 and Sig. = 0.527, respectively).
Furthermore, the Paired Sample t-Test demonstrated a significance value
(Sig. 2-tailed) lower than 0.05, indicating a statistically significant
improvement after the treatment. Therefore, it can be concluded that
passing wall training has a significant positive effect on improving passing
accuracy among 13–15-year-old athletes of SSB Batukarang. This training
method is recommended as an effective technical training strategy for
developing passing skills in youth football players.
