<![CDATA[Passing accuracy underpins effective tactical execution in youth football, yet young players frequently struggle with spatial consistency during competitive match play. This study evaluated how a Tiki-Taka game-based training regimen affects passing accuracy in Under-13 (U13) players at SSB PSAN Neusu Banda Aceh. Utilizing a quantitative pretest–post-test control group design, we allocated 30 U13 athletes into either an experimental group (n = 15) that underwent Tiki-Taka training or a control group (n = 15) that followed a conventional training curriculum. We assessed passing proficiency via the Soccer Passing Accuracy Test before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis comprised descriptive metrics, Shapiro-Wilk normality verifications, Levene’s homogeneity checks, Wilcoxon Signed Rank Tests, and Independent Samples t-tests. The experimental cohort demonstrated significant post-intervention gains, with mean passing accuracy scores climbing from 4.73 to 6.20 (p = .001). Conversely, the control group showed no meaningful improvement (p = .180). Post-test comparisons revealed a stark performance divergence between the two cohorts (p = .001), establishing that Tiki-Taka game-based intervention outperforms standard drills. Integrating high-density, short-passing games into youth academies enhances immediate technical execution. It also nurtures spatial awareness and rapid collaborative processing, offering coaches a structured framework to optimize tactical development.]]>
