THE EFFECT OF TARGET TRAINING USING USED TIRES ON SHOOTING ACCURACY AMONG FUTSAL EXTRACURRICULAR STUDENTS AT SMK NEGERI 2 SELONG

Shooting accuracy is an important technical component in futsal because players must direct the ball toward limited scoring areas under time and space constraints. This study aimed to examine changes in shooting accuracy among students participating in the futsal extracurricular program at SMK Negeri 2 Selong after target training using used tires. The study employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants were 25 male students, all of whom were included using a saturated sampling technique. The intervention lasted six weeks, from August 18 to September 26, 2026, and consisted of 12 training sessions, held twice a week. Shooting accuracy was measured before and after the intervention using a target-zone scoring test. Descriptive statistics and the Shapiro–Wilk test were used, followed by a paired-samples t-test. The mean score increased from 20.08 (SD = 2.499) at pretest to 30.56 (SD = 2.800) at posttest, representing a mean increase of 10.48 points, or approximately 52.19%. The paired-samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference, t(24) = 25.243, p < .001. These findings suggest that target training using used tires may be a practical alternative for shooting-accuracy practice in a school setting. However, because the study did not include a control group, the observed change cannot be attributed solely to the intervention. The statistical values should also be verified against the original dataset before publication because the source thesis contains inconsistent means in different sections.
