<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effect of the Small-Sided Games (SSG) training method on improving futsal passing skills among eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Garawangi, Kuningan Regency. This research is motivated by the low passing ability of students in futsal games, particularly in terms of accuracy, ball control, and decision-making during play. The Small-Sided Games method was selected because it is able to create training situations that resemble actual matches through modifications in the number of players, field size, and game rules. This study employed a quasi-experimental design to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the SSG method in improving students’ futsal passing skills. Through more intensive and participatory training, this method is expected to optimally improve students’ basic technical abilities. The results of this study are expected to provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of the SSG method and serve as a reference for PJOK teachers and extracurricular coaches in developing effective, innovative futsal training programs that are appropriate to students’ characteristics. The findings are also expected to support the development of futsal learning in schools through engaging training approaches oriented toward improving students’ skills.]]>
