<![CDATA[Evidence on how ankle-foot coordination and agility contribute to dribbling ability among football academy players remains limited, and previous findings have been inconsistent. This study analyzed the contributions of ankle-foot coordination and agility to the dribbling ability of players at the Asa Mandiri Football Academy. A quantitative correlational design was employed, and all 20 players aged 12-16 years were selected through total sampling. Ankle-foot coordination was measured using the Soccer Wall Volley Test, agility using the Illinois Agility Test, and dribbling ability using the Soccer Dribbling Test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression, the F test, and the coefficient of determination in IBM SPSS Statistics version 26. The results indicated that ankle-foot coordination had a strong and significant bivariate relationship with dribbling ability; however, its partial contribution was not significant after agility was controlled. Agility showed a very strong relationship and made a significant partial contribution. Simultaneously, ankle-foot coordination and agility contributed significantly and explained 79.0% of the variance in dribbling ability. These findings suggest that dribbling training for adolescent players should proportionally integrate agility and ankle-foot coordination exercises.]]>
