This study aims to describe athlete discipline in enhancing the quality of volleyball training at SMK Negeri 1 Solok Selatan. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Research informants—comprising the coach, athletes, and the Deputy Principal for Student Affairs—were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and subsequently analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, with validity verified through triangulation. The results indicate that athlete discipline is good, evidenced by adherence to training schedules and rules, responsibility in executing training programs, and earnestness in following the coach's instructions. Despite challenges such as tardiness and inconsistent attendance, the coach provides continuous guidance and supervision. Athlete discipline contributes to improved training quality, reflected in training regularity, heightened spirit and teamwork, and the development of the athletes' technical skills.
