Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Small Sided Games (SSG) training on the futsal skills of the Peling United team. The research background was based on the need for a training method capable of improving basic futsal technical skills in a contextual and applicable manner, meeting the demands of modern games characterized by high tempo and limited playing space. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method through a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 15 Peling United players selected using a purposive sampling technique. The criteria were active players, aged 17–25, participating in the entire training program, and not experiencing any injuries. The SSG training program was conducted for six weeks, three times per week, using a variety of game formats: 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, and 4 vs. 4, focused on improving basic futsal technical skills. The research instrument was a futsal skills test covering passing, controlling, dribbling, and shooting. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the mean score and percentage increase, the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, and a paired sample t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the average futsal skill score increased from 16.00 in the pretest to 22.13 in the posttest, representing a percentage increase of 38.31%. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of SSG training on futsal skills. Therefore, it can be concluded that Small Sided Games training is an effective training method for improving basic futsal skills comprehensively in community futsal teams.
