Futsal is a high-intensity sport that requires optimal physical condition to support technical and tactical performance during matches. However, many school-based extracurricular programs still lack structured physical assessments, resulting in training programs that are not fully tailored to athletes’ needs. This study aimed to analyze the Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical condition profiles of U-14 and U-15 futsal athletes participating in the extracurricular program at SMP Negeri 50 Surabaya. The study employed a descriptive quantitative method using tests and measurements involving 15 athletes aged 14–15 years. The research instruments included BMI measurement, the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT) to assess aerobic endurance, the 20-meter sprint test to measure speed, the Illinois Agility Test to evaluate agility, and the Sit and Reach Test to assess flexibility. The findings revealed that the athletes had an average BMI score of 20.51, which was categorized as normal. Aerobic endurance assessment showed an average VO₂Max value of 34.85 ± 4.52 ml/kg/min, categorized as deficient. The 20-meter sprint test produced an average score of 3.97 ± 1.1 seconds, also classified as deficient. In contrast, agility assessment using the Illinois Agility Test demonstrated an average score of 14.32 ± 1.0 seconds, categorized as very good. Flexibility assessment through the Sit and Reach Test resulted in an average score of 42.06 ± 6.81 cm, which fell into the good category. In conclusion, the athletes demonstrated relatively better agility and flexibility compared to aerobic endurance and speed. Therefore, more structured and sport-specific conditioning programs are required to improve endurance and speed performance among adolescent futsal athletes.
