Transforming Skills through Triangle Passing: Enhancing Accuracy and Teamwork in Futsal Training

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of triangle passing training on passing accuracy in futsal extracurricular activities among fifth-grade students at UPTD Serpong 02 Public Elementary School, Serpong, South Tangerang. The research used an experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 20 male students participating in futsal extracurricular activities. The research instrument was a passing accuracy test using cone targets. Data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test with SPSS software. The results showed a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores, indicating that triangle passing training positively affected students’ passing accuracy. The average score increased from 30.50 to 52.00, proving the effectiveness of this training in improving short-pass accuracy. The study concludes that triangle passing can serve as an alternative method to enhance students’ passing skills, confidence, and teamwork. Moreover, position rotation during the triangle drills helps players understand the importance of coordination and communication in futsal gameplay.
