The results of cycle I showed an average score of 68. 75 with a completeness of 56. 25%, where passing and dribbling were not optimal. Improvements in cycle II were made through emphasizing basic technique training before the game and providing clearer tactical instructions. The results increased to an average of 81. 56 with a completion rate of 87. 50%, accompanied by increased student motivation, engagement, and social interaction during learning. Thus, mini-soccer games are effective as a learning strategy to improve soccer learning outcomes in junior high school students. Keywords: mini soccer. learning outcomes. physical education. junior high school 1 Introduction Although soccer is a popular PE subject with the potential to develop motor skills and teamwork, its implementation in schools often faces obstacles: learning tends to be teacher-centered, students' opportunities for ball contact are limited, and technical drills are conducted separately from the game context. This can result in low mastery of basic techniques such as passing and dribbling, ultimately reducing student learning outcomes. Pedagogically, small-sided soccer games (SSG. are considered relevant for the PE context because they modify the number of players, field size, and rules of play, allowing students to Page 5 of 14 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:125228585 Page 6 of 14 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:125228585 engage more actively in authentic game situations. Literature suggests that smaller, modified game formats can increase the frequency of technical engagement . , more ball touches, passing/dribbling opportunitie. , while also encouraging more natural decision-making and tactical understanding than isolated technical drills. Research synthesis findings also confirm that manipulation of the format, area size per player, and game rules in SSGs affects the number and quality of technical actions during play. However, research gaps remain in two areas. First, the school context gap: in soccer learning in ninth-grade students at Madani Private Middle School, the initial diagnostic results . re-cycl. indicated that students' skill achievement was still low. Of the 32 students, the average skill score was only 62. 19, with a learning completion rate of 34. 38% . out of 32 student. Initial observations also revealed several problems: . some students passively waited for the ball. their passing accuracy was unstable. they easily lost control of their dribbling when under pressure from opponents. teamwork had not yet developed due to minimal communication in the game. These initial data confirm the need for learning interventions that encourage students to be more active, practice techniques more frequently in a game context, and receive targeted feedback. Second, the literature gap: much research on SSG focuses on the context of club/SSB training or athlete development environments, emphasizing physical aspects and match performance. Meanwhile, in the context of junior high school physical education (PJOK), there are still limited articles examining SSG through a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design that emphasizes cycle-based learning improvement . eflection-improvemen. and measures success based on learning completion (KKM). Furthermore, not all studies present detailed practical assessment instruments . assing and dribbling technique rubrics with operational indicator. , making it difficult for teachers to consistently replicate the intervention. Based on this gap, the novelty and contribution of this article lie in: . the implementation of a mini-soccer game in a junior high school physical education setting using a two-cycle CAR as a structured learning improvement strategy. the development of action scenarios that position basic technique training as a "bridge" to the mini-game so that passing and dribbling skills are practiced in relevant game situations. the use of practical assessment based on skills rubrics oriented towards technical indicators . , passing accuracy/direction, ball control while dribbling, foot use, and simple decision-makin. so that learning outcomes can be measured more objectively. strengthening process indicators . ctiveness, involvement, and cooperatio. as evidence that the intervention not only improves grades but also the quality of learning. Thus, this study aims to describe and demonstrate the effectiveness of implementing a minisoccer game in improving soccer learning outcomes . articularly passing and dribblin. in ninth-grade students of Madani Private Middle School in the 2025/2026 academic year through a two-cycle CAR approach.

The improvement was evident in the average class score, which increased from 68. (Cycle I) to 81. 56 (Cycle II), a 12. 81-point increase. Learning completion also increased from 25% . out of 32 student. 50% . out of 32 student. , a 31. 25-point increase. This improvement indicates that the game modification using the small-sided soccer format was effective not only in terms of final grades but also as a learning strategy that encouraged more active student engagement in authentic play situations. Pedagogically, the effectiveness of the program can be explained by the main mechanisms of SSG: more technical engagement . ore touche. and more frequent student involvement in decision-making situations. When the number of players is reduced and the playing space is modified, students experience a higher frequency of ball contact and more opportunities to perform technical actions such as passing and dribbling compared to learning in large-format In the SSG review, reducing the number of players tends to increase the number of technical actions and provides greater technical stimulation because each student is "more directly involved" in the game. PMC Furthermore, improvements in Cycle II can be understood as a result of the refinement of more targeted constraints. When Cycle II adds more specific pre-game technical drills and clarifies game rules . or example, rules that encourage passing combinations, rotations, or game target. , students gain a "bridge" from technical mastery to in-game application. This approach aligns with the principle of the constraints-led approach, which emphasizes that skill learning occurs through the interaction between task constraints . ules, field size, number of player. , the environment, and student characteristicsAithus, effective movement behaviors emerge as students adapt to the demands of the game. From a game-learning perspective, the mini-soccer format also aligns with the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach, which places the game as the primary context for students to understand tactical problems, make decisions, and then execute the required skills. In other words, mini-games allow passing and dribbling techniques to be learned not as AuisolatedAy movements, but as solutions to game problems . , opening up space, maintaining possession, creating opportunitie. The TGfU principle emphasizes the interconnectedness of tactical understanding, decision-making, and skill execution, making them more meaningful for Human Kinetics Journals The findings of this study are also consistent with a literature synthesis that suggests that manipulation of game format . umber of player. , pitch configuration, and rules in SSG influences technical-tactical responses and the quality of player engagement. The umbrella Page 11 of 14 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:125228585 Page 12 of 14 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:125228585 review showed that various constraints . ormat, pitch configuration, scoring method, tactical objective. influence the measurement of technical actions and game responses in SSG. PLOS On the other hand, a systematic review of tactical behavior in SSG also showed that smaller game formats tend to enhance certain tactical behaviors and expose players to more frequent game situations that require quick decisions. ScienceDirect Therefore, the improved learning outcomes in this study are plausible: mini-game-based learning creates a more action-rich training environment that is more relevant to the demands of the game. Research Limitations This study has several limitations that require consideration. First, the study involved only one class . , so generalization to other schools or grade levels requires caution. Second, the CAR was implemented in two cycles without a comparison group . , so the improvement in learning outcomes cannot be fully concluded to be due solely to the intervention . ther factors such as student adaptation, repetition of the exercises, or temporary motivation may be at pla. Third, skill assessments and process observations are potentially subject to observer bias, despite collaboration/perception alignment. Fourth, the measurement focus was primarily on passing and dribbling, so other aspects . , advanced ball control, shooting, and understanding of more complex tactic. were not measured in depth. These limitations serve as the basis for design improvements in subsequent studies . , adding a detailed pre-cycle, increasing the number of cycles, or comparing with other model. Operational Practical Implications . or Physical Education Teacher. Based on the results and learning mechanisms of the SSG, the following practical recommendations can be implemented by Physical Education teachers to make the intervention easier to replicate: Game format: Use 4v4 or 5v5 . afer for Physical Educatio. with rotations to ensure equal playing time for all students. Pitch size: Modify to approximately 25 x 35 m . r adjust to facilitie. , use cones for boundaries and mini-goals. Duration: Use two sets of 8Ae10 minutes per game, with a 2Ae3 minute break for brief feedback. rotate every 3Ae5 minutes. Drill:game ratio: conduct a short technical drill . pproximately 20Ae25 minute. followed by a game . pproximately 20 minute. the drill serves as a Autechnical warm-upAy before playing. Progression . evel u. First week/session: Focus on short passes and controlled dribbling without pressure. Next session: Add rules encouraging combinations . , "3 passes before shooting") and simple tactical tasks . inding space/suppor. Feedback: Implement micro-coaching . top the game for 30Ae60 seconds at key moment. to make technical/tactical corrections immediately relevant. Page 12 of 14 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:125228585 Page 13 of 14 - Integrity Submission Submission ID trn:oid:::3618:125228585 Assessment: Use a clear performance rubric . assing & dribbling indicator. and document changes between cycles through . practice scores, . completion, and . activity/cooperation observation summaries. Overall, the mini-soccer lessons provided a learning environment that engaged students more, practiced skills more frequently in a game context, and encouraged them to make decisions. The combination of game modifications, pre-game drill reinforcement, and targeted feedback explains why Cycle II results improved significantly compared to Cycle I, both in terms of average scores and learning completion. 5 Conclution The implementation of mini-soccer games . mall-sided game. in Physical Education (PJOK) learning for grade IX of Madani Private Middle School in the 2025/2026 academic year has been proven to improve soccer learning outcomes. The increase was seen in the average class score from 68. 75 in Cycle I to 81. 56 in Cycle II . n increase of 12. 81 point. , as well as the percentage of learning completion from 56. 25% to 87. 50% . n increase of 31. 25 percentage These findings indicate that game modification through the mini-soccer format is effective in enriching student engagement, increasing opportunities to practice skills in a game context, and improving learning outcomes, especially in the aspects of passing and dribbling.
