Background and Study Aim. Shooting in a basketball game is the method of throwing the ball into the ring or basket to get points. As a result, extra treatment is required to improve kids' shooting abilities. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of play method on basketball shooting ability results.
Material and Methods. In this work, a pre-experiment with a one-group pretest and posttest design was used. The research subjects were 11th grade students from State Senior High School 4 Ketapang, and a sample of 37 students was obtained using the purposive sampling technique. The devices in the study collected data directly from tests and measurements performed on the basketball court. Students in this study practiced the basic technique (shooting at the basketball hoop) for 1 minute, which was repeated three times to achieve the best outcomes. The SPSS Version 26 application was used to help with data analysis in this study.
Results. The results show the mean pretest value of shooting ability as 72.81, while the mean posttest shooting ability is 81.68. Based on these results, the mean posttest value of shooting ability is greater than the mean pretest value of shooting ability. The results showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05.
Conclusions. The conclusion is that the playing method has a significant effect on the results of basketball shooting ability, so it can be said that the playing method can be applied to improve the results of basketball shooting ability.
