IDENTIFIKASI KESULITAN TEKNIK PASSING PADA ATLET FUTSAL WANITA DI KLUB AKADEMI HANTUKOTA

Abstract

This study aims to identify the difficulties in passing skills among female futsal athletes at Hantukota Academy. Passing is a fundamental skill in futsal, playing an essential role in building attacks, maintaining ball possession, and enhancing team performance effectiveness. This research used a descriptive quantitative approach involving female futsal athletes actively training at the academy. Data were collected through a passing skill test covering accuracy, passing power, and decision-making in game situations, supported by direct observation. The results show that decision-making difficulty reached 70%, passing accuracy 62%, and passing power 48%. Overall, the athletes’ passing performance is categorized as low to moderate with an average difficulty level of 60%. These findings indicate that both cognitive and technical aspects remain the main challenges, highlighting the need for more effective and innovative training approaches, particularly through video-based instructional media to improve technical understanding and decision-making in futsal gameplay.
