Gateball

Abstract

Gateball, although still considered foreign in Indonesia, has gained popularity among the community, especially among students. Gateball is deemed attractive due to its recreational nature and less physically demanding characteristics. This research aims to identify the low accuracy of striking abilities among Padang United Gateball Club (PUGC) athletes in Padang City and to determine the influence of repetition training methods on improving gateball players' striking accuracy.This study employs a quantitative research design with the striking accuracy test method as the data collection instrument. The research sample consists of 20 PUGC athletes selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive techniques and percentages. The results indicate that the average striking accuracy of PUGC athletes falls into the moderate category. The repetition training method has a positive impact on enhancing gateball players' striking accuracy. The implication of this research underscores the importance of implementing effective training methods to improve technical abilities among gateball athletes. This study contributes to the development of gateball sports in Indonesia, particularly in Padang City.
