The Effects of Cat and Mouse Playing on Inner Leg Passing Ability at SSB SJS Luwuk

Abstract

The game of football in Banggai regency is progressive and has the potential for outstanding athletes. The existence of the SSB SJS Luwuk football school in Banggai regency is a proof of this. SJS Luwuk Football School has several categories of age levels, from U-10 to U-17. The enthusiasm of the players in attending the football school is very good but many obstacles in the children’s ability to pass the inner leg in the regular exercises are still found. In the implementation of passing, they still cannot pass properly and cannot direct the ball according to the target in the game especially at the age of 14. However, in this study, only 27 people aged 14 years were included. This study was designed to test the effectiveness of playing cat and mouse playing on the ability to pass feet in soccer games at SSB SJS Luwuk. This research was designed using a quantitative method, One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design. In processing the data obtained: Initial data are obtained by giving the inner leg passing, so that the Shapiro-Wilk value is 0.510 with n = 27 while the value of sig = 0.510 > 0.05 indicating the final test can be seen on the ability of foot passing distributed football game. The post-test data of foot passing ability in football games obtain a Shapiro-Wilk value of 0.320 with n = 27 while the value of significance = 0.320 is greater than 0.05. The cat-and-mouse exercise has an influence on the ability to pass the legs in the game, namely t count = 8,231 (sig = 0.000 < 0.05). The number (mean) in the pre-test is 8.44 and the post-test result is 11.41 so there is an increase of 2.97. So the game of cat and mouse should be used in the warm-up time and before starting training to increase foot passing skills in football games.
