Abstract

Basketball is a sport that demands high technical skills, especially in three-point shooting, which plays a crucial role in determining the outcome of the match. The accuracy of these shots is greatly influenced by the ability to create space during dribbling. Two common methods that are often used are Slalom Dribble and Step-Back Dribble. This experimental study, which involved 20 teenage players at Club Ballhandler Kota Magelang with a Matching by Subject (MS) design and ordinal pairing to ensure equal pretest scores, measured the effect of both methods in improving three-point shooting accuracy. The first group underwent Slalom Dribble training followed by shooting, while the second group underwent Step-Back Dribble training with similar procedures. The results showed that both methods significantly improved shooting accuracy (p< 0.05), illustrating that both techniques are effective in creating optimal conditions for shooting. However, when compared directly, there was no significant difference between the two (p 0.881), indicating equal effectiveness. This is in line with the literature that emphasizes the importance of dribbling skills and shooting space in the context of defensive pressure. Therefore, coaches and players can choose one of the methods according to the player's character, the structure of the training session, or program variations, because both Slalom Dribble and Step-Back Dribble make a positive contribution to improving three-point shooting accuracy.
