<![CDATA[This study investigated how block and random training methods, along with motivation training, affect the free throw ability of the female basketball team at SMA Negeri 1 Kunto Darussalam. Quasi-experimental design (2 x 2 factorial) was employed, involving 32 female players. Training motivation was measured using a questionnaire, while free throw ability was assessed using a standardized test. Data analysis primarily utilized two-way ANOVA, with normality assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Findings of the study revealed that the random training method significantly enhanced free throw shooting ability compared to the block method, particularly among players with high motivation. In contrast, the block training method was proved to be more effective for participants with low motivation levels. The results emphasize the necessity for coaches to tailor training programs according to individual motivation levels to maximize their free throw performance. By aligning training strategies with the motivational state of athletes, coaches can foster more effective skill development in basketball.]]>
