<![CDATA[The poor passing and stopping skills of the 2026 Pormal FC players hindered the team’s effectiveness on the field, due to a lack of variety and specificity in their training program. This study aimed to determine the effect of the “Drill Ball on Cone” and “Pass Between Cone” exercises on improving the passing and stopping performance of the 2026 Pormal FC players. The study employed a quantitative approach using a two-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 20 players divided into two groups of 10 players each. Experimental Group 1 received the “Drill Ball on Cone” training, while Experimental Group 2 received the “Pass Between Cone” training. The instrument used was a passing and stopping skills test with a rebound board. Data analysis techniques included paired and unpaired t-tests at a 5% significance level. The “Drill Ball on Cone” exercise had a significant effect, resulting in a 57.69% improvement (calculated t = 8.67 > table t = 2.262; sig. 0.000 < 0.05). The “Pass Between Cones” drill also had a significant effect, resulting in a 62.82% improvement (t-calculated 9.14 > t-table 2.262; sig. 0.000 < 0.05). However, statistically, there was no significant difference between the two training methods (t-calculated 1.73 < t-table 2.101; sig. 0.101 > 0.05). Both training methods were equally effective in improving passing and stopping performance and can serve as alternative training programs for the coaches of Club Pormal FC.]]>
