Football is a popular game involving two teams with 11 players on each team. This game requires players to use their foot skills to compete for the ball and score goals in the opponent's goal. Basic techniques in football include passing the ball, dribbling, ball control, and heading the ball. Programmed, routine, and disciplined training is essential to master these basic techniques. Passing in football involves transferring the ball from one player to another within the same team. Passing skills are crucial in the game because their purpose is to create space, score goals, maintain defense, and restart the ball after a foul. The inside of the foot is often used in passing because it is wider and allows players to direct the ball more accurately. Drill methods, which involve systematically repeating movements, can help improve mastery of basic techniques. Drill training can also enhance physical conditioning. This research aims to improve passing training outcomes for Perseta SSB athletes using the drill method. This study benefits researchers, athletes, coaches, and others in enhancing understanding and skills in football passing. The method used in this research is the sports action method. The results obtained indicate that passing training using the drill method, especially the triangle drill method, is effective in improving athletes' passing abilities. This training helps improve coordination, speed, and passing accuracy. This finding provides evidence that drill methods can be used as an effective approach in training passing techniques and skills for athletes.
