This study aimed to determine the effect of repetitive target game drill training on the long forehand serve ability of students participating in badminton extracurricular activities at Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Hilal Senuro. The research employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. A total of 30 students were selected as the sample and were given repetitive target game drill training to improve their serving skills. The data on long forehand serve ability were analyzed using a One Sample t-test to examine the improvement in performance after the treatment was applied. The results showed a calculated t value of –26.625 with 29 degrees of freedom (df) and a significance value (p) < 0.001, which was lower than the significance level of 0.05. These findings indicate that repetitive target game drill training significantly improved the long forehand serve ability of students participating in the badminton extracurricular program at MA Nurul Hilal Senuro. Thus, the repetitive target game drill method can be considered an effective training approach for enhancing long forehand serve performance in badminton.
