This study aims to examine the relationship between abdominal muscle strength and leg muscle strength with the accuracy of long passing in 14-year-old players of Pesawat Putra Football School (SSB) in Jombang Regency. The method applied is a quantitative descriptive approach aimed at describing and assessing the connection between the variables of abdominal muscle strength, leg muscle strength, and long passing accuracy of the players using a correlational study design. There were 21 players who participated in this study, selected purposively. The tools used to collect data consisted of a 30-second sit-up test to assess abdominal muscle strength, a standing long jump test to measure leg muscle strength, and a long passing accuracy test to evaluate technical ability. The results of the correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between abdominal muscle strength and long passing accuracy (r = 0.790; p = 0.000), and also between Leg muscle strength is correlated with long passing accuracy (r = 0.577; p = 0.024). In addition, the multiple correlation test yielded a significant value of 0.003, indicating a meaningful relationship between the two variables of muscle strength and long passing accuracy.
