Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of basic forehand and backhand table tennis skills among students at SMK Negeri 1 Poso Pesisir. Mastery of basic techniques is the main foundation in learning table tennis because it influences ball control, shot accuracy, and game effectiveness. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design. The sample consisted of 15 male students from class DKV B, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using forehand and backhand technique skills tests based on technique and shot accuracy indicators. Data analysis used descriptive statistics in the form of mean, median, standard deviation, and percentage distribution of ability categories. The results showed that basic forehand technique skills had a mean of 50, a median of 47, and a standard deviation of 10, with 53% of students in the high category, 27% in the medium category, and 20% in the very low category. There were no students in the very high or low category. Meanwhile, basic backhand technique proficiency had a mean of 50, a median of 52, and a standard deviation of 10, with 40% of students in the low category, 27% in the moderate category, and 33% in the high category, with no students in the very high category. It can be concluded that students' forehand proficiency is generally good, while their backhand proficiency still requires more intensive development. The results of this survey serve as the basis for planning more systematic table tennis lessons based on student needs.
