    EFFECT OF TWELEVE WEEKS TECHNICAL TRAINING PROGRAM ON BASKETBALL BASIC SKILLS AT DILLA DONBOSCO HIGH SCHOOL
    (HAWASSA UNIVERSITY, 2024-05) GETAW TEGEGN
    This study evaluates a twelve-week training program's effectiveness in enhancing basic basketball skills among male players at Dilla Don Bosco High School using a quasi experimental design. It focuses on three key skills: dribbling speed, overhead passing xiv precision, and layup shooting accuracy. Participants were purposively selected and assessed before and after the program using standardized skill tests. The study involved an experimental group of 10 participants who received the training and a control group of 10 participants who did not. Statistical analysis, including paired and independent t-tests, compared the pre- and post-test results of both groups. The experimental group showed significant improvements across all three skills compared to the control group (p < 0.05), with an average improvement of 0.92 in dribbling speed, 1.3 in overhead pass precision, and 1.60 in layup shooting accuracy at three distances. These findings validate the program's effectiveness, suggesting that structured training can enhance specific basketball skills. The researcher recommends implementing targeted technical training, applying successful techniques across different programs and age groups, and emphasizing skill-specific drills for player development. Further research is advised to refine these methods and assess their effectiveness in varied contexts and populations. The study's implications extend to the broader field of sports science by highlighting the importance of targeted skill development in youth basketball training.
