<![CDATA[Abstract: Examining the impact of ballhandling training on the development of dribbling abilities in students involved in extracurricular basketball activities at SMAN 1 Kadugede was the aim of this research. With a one-group pre-test and post-test design, a quantitative research methodology was used. The sample in this study consisted of 12 students selected purposively. Data collection was conducted through a zig-zag dribbling ability test before and after the ball-handling training program, which lasted four weeks with a training intensity of three times per week. Data analysis showed that the average score rose from 12.66 on the pre-test to 15.41 on the post-test. The data were homogeneous and regularly distributed, according to the findings of the normality and homogeneity tests. The paired sample t-test findings, on the other hand, revealed a significant relationship between ballhandling training and enhanced dribbling skill, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). To sum up, ballhandling instruction may be a useful strategy for enhancing students' basketball dribbling skills.
