Abstract

Based on observations conducted at Students’ Extracurricular at SMPN 1 Siak Hulu, Kampar Regency, the author notices that the basic techniques of Passing and Stopping are still lacking. This is proven by the inaccurate passing of the ball to the other players, and the students' inability to stay in control of the ball when receiving passes, which prevents football game from reaching maximum results, especially in real matches. Football passing and stopping skills can be improved through variation training methods. This study aimed to determine if different exercises have an effect on passing and stopping in football on students’ extracurricular at SMPN 1 Siak Hulu, Kampar District. This is quantitative research applying a Pre-experiment design with a Pretest-Posttest design and a statistical formula or T-score. Population is the entire object of research, so for this study, the population consisted of all 24 students who participated in extracurricular football activities at SMPN 1 Siak Hulu, Kampar Regency. The t-count value for this study was 13.18, while the t-table with a significant 5% and db = N-1 (24-1 = 23) was 2.07. Therefore, t count > t table. Thus, there is a substantial difference between the results of the Pretest and Posttest. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that the proposed hypothesis regarding the relationship between Variation Training on Passing and Stopping Skills in Football on Students’ Extracurricular at SMPN 1 Siak Hulu, Kampar Regency is accepted. Students who participate in extracurricular football activities at SMPN 1 Siak Hulu, Kampar Regency, and who wish to improve their football skills are advised to always practice diligently.
