<![CDATA[Physical education (PE) in partner elementary schools in Tasikmalaya City was dominated by fragmented skill drills; traditional games were used only occasionally; and no cross-school collaboration forum for teachers existed. This community engagement program aimed to strengthen PE teachers’ capacity to implement a traditional game-based Sport Education Model (SEM) and to build an inter-school collaborative network through a traditional sports festival. Partners included 40 PE teachers from 20 elementary schools across 10 subdistricts, with the Tasikmalaya City Education Office serving as the government partner and 200 students as direct beneficiaries. A participatory approach was implemented in six stages: socialization; training and Training of Trainers; module development; implementation over one full season; mentoring and evaluation; and a festival serving as the culminating event. Data were collected through a review of teacher-developed modules, observation sheets on SEM fidelity and student participation, and forum minutes, and were analyzed using descriptive percentages against targets set during planning. Regarding outputs, all teachers (100%) completed the training, 36 teachers (90%) developed SEM modules that met the review criteria, and all 20 schools completed one season with an average fulfillment rate of the six SEM components at 85% across schools. Three traditional games (lari balok, hadang rintang, and boy-boyan) were incorporated into the season’s structure, and the festival led to a cross-school communication forum for physical education teachers. Regarding observed outcomes, 82% of students met the active-participation criterion during observation. Because the evaluation was descriptive without quantified baseline data or a comparison group these findings indicate program feasibility and cannot be interpreted as causal effects. Integrating teacher training, local cultural content, and a shared festival agenda appears feasible at the city level and warrants testing with more rigorous evaluation designs.]]>
