This study aims to explore the agility and dribbling abilities of elementary school students in futsal at SDN 4 Ranomeeto, South Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed to obtain an in-depth understanding of students' agility characteristics, dribbling abilities, the integration of both skills during game situations, and the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing their development. Participants were selected purposively and consisted of students involved in futsal activities and a Physical Education, Sports, and Health teacher as a supporting informant. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation and analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. Data credibility was established through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The findings indicate that students' agility was characterized by their ability to change direction, regulate movement speed, maintain balance, and respond to changing game situations, although these abilities were not evenly developed. Students' dribbling abilities also varied, particularly in ball control, use of the non-dominant foot, changes in direction, and confidence when facing opponents. Agility was integrated into dribbling performance, particularly when students attempted to evade opponents and move into available space. Supporting factors included training frequency, playing experience, teacher support, and game-based activities. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors included differences in basic abilities, limited playing experience, unstable ball control, limited non-dominant foot proficiency, and lack of confidence. The study emphasizes the importance of contextual and integrated futsal learning to support the development of elementary school students' motor skills.
