<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the poor shooting ability of the futsal players at SMAN 15 Garut, which has prevented the team from achieving success in various tournaments, with an on-target shooting success rate of only 35–40%. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of resistance band training on shooting ability and to measure the extent of improvement. The method used was a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 21 futsal athletes selected through total sampling. The instrument consisted of a shooting test on a goal using a scoring rubric validated by experts (Aiken’s V = 0.86) and tested for reliability (r = 0.89). Training was conducted three times per week for six weeks with a load progression of 60–85% of one-repetition maximum (RM). Data analysis utilized the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s test for homogeneity of variances, and a paired-sample t-test for hypothesis testing. The results showed an average increase from 10.73 to 15.50 (a 40% improvement). The hypothesis test yielded a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) with an effect size of 1.01 (classified as a large effect). The conclusion of this study is that resistance band training has a significant and effective impact on improving the shooting ability of futsal players at SMAN 15 Garut. This method is recommended as a practical, safe, and efficient alternative training program at the high school level.]]>
