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.
