<![CDATA[Accurate shooting ability is one of the most crucial basic skills in futsal; however, the most effective training method to improve it remains a subject of debate. This study aims to analyze and compare the effectiveness of drill shoot training and target training on improving the shooting accuracy of futsal players at SMPN 2 Prambon. A quantitative approach with a Two Group Pretest-Posttest Design was employed, involving 16 players randomly divided into two groups of 8 each. The shooting accuracy test instrument was adopted from Mahanani and Indriarsa (2021) with a validity of r = 0.85 and reliability of α = 0.89. Data analysis was conducted using Paired Samples T-Test, Independent Samples T-Test, and effect size calculation (Cohen's d). The results showed that the drill shoot group experienced an average increase of 9.37 points but was not statistically significant (p = 0.115). Meanwhile, the target training group experienced an average increase of 11.25 points and was statistically significant (p = 0.041). However, the Independent Samples T-Test indicated no significant difference between the two methods (p = 0.531; Cohen's d = 0.32). Therefore, it can be concluded that both methods are equally effective in improving shooting accuracy and can be applied alternately or in combination within a structured futsal training program.]]>
