<p>Sports learning innovation based on digital technology is an important study in developing knowledge in the digital era. Set against the Riyadh Indonesian School's unique background, hybrid learning takes place optimally. This innovation provides an effective and enjoyable learning space for students because apart from having the opportunity to study with their classmates, they can also interact and collaborate with long-distance classmates from various cities and even different countries. This research aims to discuss innovations carried out by teachers in digital technology-based sports learning in elementary schools, by applying descriptive qualitative research methods. Primary data sources came from in-depth interviews with teachers, school principals, and education attachés at the Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh. The results of this research showed that; (1) The shift from offline to online to hybrid learning had an impact on the concept of learning at the Riyadh Indonesian School; (2) This shift not only required sufficient network technology but also updated teachers' capabilities through digital-based training; (3) This quality improvement made every class lesson effective, communicative and enjoyable by establishing positive collaboration between regular students groups and distanced students groups. Hybrid learning based on digital technology was an innovation that had been successfully implemented at the Indonesian School of Riyadh and should be an example for other schools.</p>
