Dribbling ability is a fundamental technique that significantly determines the effectiveness of a football game, as it directly relates to ball control, agility, and the ability to pass opponents. However, in club-level coaching, the training methods used are often not empirically tested. This study aims to determine the effect of Zig-Zag training and Juggling training on the dribbling ability of Sinar Jaya Rano Club players and to compare the effectiveness of the two methods. The study used a pretest–posttest experimental design with two treatment groups, each consisting of seven players. The intervention was conducted for six weeks. Data were analyzed using Paired Sample T-Tests and Independent Sample T-Tests. The results showed that Zig-Zag training significantly improved dribbling ability (mean difference = 2.44; t = 6.333; p = 0.001). Juggling training also showed a highly significant effect (mean difference = 3.34; t = 8.323; p = 0.000). However, an Independent Sample T-Test in the posttest showed no significant difference in effectiveness between the two methods (p = 0.643). It was concluded that Zig-Zag and Juggling exercises were equally effective in improving dribbling skills, so they can be used alternatively or combined in a football technique training program.
