This study aims to determine the implementation of basic coaching principles in improving ball control skills among beginner futsal athletes at SMP Nurcahaya Medan. The research method used is descriptive quantitative, with data collected through questionnaires and ball control skill tests. The sample consisted of 10 beginner futsal athletes selected using the total sampling technique. The results showed that the athletes’ ball control skills were in the fair to good category. This indicates that the coach has applied fundamental coaching principles such as individuality, variation, and training load, although improvements in consistency and training variation are still needed. Thus, the implementation of basic coaching principles has a positive effect on improving ball control abilities among beginner futsal athletes.
