The Effect Of Moving Ball Exercise On Shooting Accuracy Towords The Goal In State High School Students Specifically For Sports Of South Sulawesi Province

Abstract

Shooting accuracy is one of the decisive technical abilities in football because it directly determines the success of attacking play and goal scoring. In school-based football coaching, students often experience difficulty directing the ball accurately toward the goal, especially when shooting from a moving ball situation. This study aimed to determine the effect of moving-ball training on shooting accuracy toward the goal among students of SMA Negeri Khusus Keberbakatan Olahraga Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. This research used a quantitative experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 20 students who participated in the football training program. The research procedure included an initial test, a moving-ball training treatment, and a final test. The instrument used was a shooting accuracy test toward the goal, while the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality testing, homogeneity testing, and paired-sample t-test. The descriptive results showed that the pretest mean score was 9.900, with a standard deviation of 2.19809, a minimum score of 7.00, and a maximum score of 13.00. After the treatment, the posttest mean score increased to 15.700, with a standard deviation of 2.07998, a minimum score of 13.00, and a maximum score of 19.00. The mean improvement was 5.800 points. The paired-sample t-test obtained a t-count value of 42.136, which was higher than the t-table value of 1.729, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, moving-ball training had a significant effect on improving students’ shooting accuracy toward the goal.
