<![CDATA[Background of study: Physical education is an integral part of the educational system aimed at developing students' physical, mental, social, and emotional capabilities. At EBC 10 Dezembro Comoro-Dili, Sepak Takraw extracurricular activities serve as a strategic platform for talent development; however, implementation still faces significant motivational and methodological challenges. Aims and scope of paper: This study aims to analyze the role of Physical Education (PE) teachers in Sepak Takraw extracurricular activities at EBC 10 Dezembro Comoro-Dili and to identify the constraints and strategies involved in student coaching. Methods: This study employed a descriptive method with a naturalistic qualitative approach (SRQR). Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with key informants (PE teachers/coaches and the school principal), and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Results: The findings indicate that PE teachers play a vital role as planners, coaches, mentors, and motivators. While basic technical skills and discipline aspects are well-managed, significant constraints were found, including low student motivation, limited practice time, and a lack of variety in teaching methods. Institutional support in terms of policy is adequate, but the coaches' pedagogical innovation needs improvement. Conclusion: The role of PE teachers at EBC 10 Dezembro Comoro-Dili is satisfactory in technical aspects but requires strengthening in innovation and motivational functions to ensure effective and sustainable coaching.]]>
