<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the effect of competitive anxiety on the performance of rounders games among students at SDN 2 Lamcot Aceh Besar. Competitive anxiety is a condition of anxiety that arises when students face competitive situations or matches, which can affect performance, concentration, and self-confidence during the game. This research used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The population consisted of students of SDN 2 Lamcot Aceh Besar who participated in rounders games activities, while the sampling technique used purposive sampling. The research instruments included a competitive anxiety questionnaire and a rounders game observation sheet. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple regression tests to determine the effect between variables. The results showed that competitive anxiety has an effect on students’ rounders playing ability. High levels of anxiety tend to reduce concentration, movement coordination, and students’ confidence in making decisions during the game. In contrast, students with lower anxiety levels demonstrated better playing performance and greater self-confidence. Therefore, it can be concluded that managing competitive anxiety is very important in improving students’ abilities and achievements in rounders games at the elementary school level.]]>
