This study aims to examine the effect of applying the command teaching style on the ability to kick the ball in soccer among students at SMP Negeri 6 Tondano. The research question is whether the command teaching style can enhance the ability to kick the ball. This experimental study uses a "Randomized Control Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design." The sample consists of 30 students, divided into an experimental group (15 students) receiving the command teaching style, and a control group (15 students). The study was conducted over one month with sessions held three times a week. The instrument used is the "wall pass test," and the tools include a wall, soccer ball, stopwatch, whistle, and writing materials. Data collection involved pre- and post-tests of the ability to kick the ball, with results recorded and analyzed. Statistical analysis using t-test shows a t-value of 9.98, compared to a critical t-value of 2.48 with 28 degrees of freedom. Since the t-value is greater than the critical t-value, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. The conclusion is that the command teaching style significantly improves the ability to kick the ball in soccer.
