<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the contribution of two physical conditioning factors, flexibility and agility, to the dribbling ability of football players at CIP FC Karawang. A correlational method was employed, with a sample of 25 players. Data collection was conducted through a series of tests: the sit and reach test to measure flexibility, the dodging run test to assess agility, and a dribbling test to evaluate players' dribbling skills. The correlation analysis indicated that flexibility had a correlation coefficient of 0.348 with dribbling ability and a significance level of 0.089. Although a positive relationship was found, this significance level exceeds 0.05, meaning the correlation between flexibility and dribbling is not statistically significant. Conversely, agility showed a very strong correlation with dribbling, with a correlation coefficient of 0.909 and a significance level of < 0.001, indicating a highly significant relationship. The coefficient of determination revealed that flexibility accounted for only about 12.10% of the variation in dribbling ability, whereas agility accounted for up to 82.63% of the variation. When combined, flexibility and agility explained approximately 84.1% of the variation in dribbling ability. In conclusion, agility has a significantly greater and more impactful contribution to dribbling ability than flexibility. Therefore, to enhance players' dribbling skills, training should primarily focus on improving agility, while flexibility can be maintained as a supportive factor to prevent injuries and aid player mobility. This study is expected to serve as a reference for coaches and players in developing effective training programs to improve dribbling skills.]]>
