Abstract

Basketball is one of the most popular sports among junior high school students, requiring mastery of fundamental techniques such as dribbling. Dribbling speed plays a crucial role in maintaining ball possession, creating scoring opportunities, and enhancing overall game performance. However, many students participating in extracurricular basketball programs still demonstrate limited dribbling speed due to insufficient training methods that specifically target agility, coordination, and ball control. Therefore, an effective training approach is needed to improve these skills. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of zig-zag dribbling exercises in improving basketball dribbling speed among students participating in the extracurricular basketball program at Al Munawwariyyah Junior High School. This research employed an experimental method using a pretest-posttest control group design. The participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group that received a structured zig-zag dribbling training program for six weeks and a control group that continued routine basketball practice without special intervention. Dribbling speed was measured using a standardized and validated dribbling speed test. Data were analyzed using comparative statistical techniques to evaluate differences between groups. The results revealed a significant improvement in dribbling speed in the experimental group compared with the control group. Students who participated in the zig-zag dribbling training demonstrated faster dribbling completion times, indicating enhanced agility, hand–eye coordination, ball control, and movement efficiency. These findings confirm that zig-zag dribbling exercises are an effective training method for improving basketball dribbling speed among junior high school students. In conclusion, zig-zag dribbling training can be recommended as an integral component of basketball skill development programs at the secondary school level to enhance students’ technical performance and overall playing ability.
