This classroom action research aims to improve soccer learning outcomes through the implementation of mini soccer games for ninth-grade students of Madani Private Junior High School in the 2025/2026 Academic Year (n=32). The research was conducted in two cycles, each of which included planning, action, observation, and reflection. The learning action used small-sided games (mini soccer) 5 vs. 5 on a modified field (±25×35 m) with simple rules (no offside, kick-in) and player rotation to ensure high student engagement. Data collection used activity observations and skill practice tests with a passing and dribbling performance rubric (technical indicators; scale 1–4 per indicator) which were converted to a score of 0–100 with a KKM reference of 75. 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.

Conclusion

The implementation of mini-soccer games in Physical Education learning for grade IX of Madani Private Middle School has proven to improve soccer learning outcomes.The average class score increased from 68.56 in Cycle II, and the percentage of learning completion increased from 56.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 passing and dribbling.

Future Research

Penelitian lanjutan dapat dilakukan dengan memperluas cakupan usia siswa, misalnya dengan menguji efektivitas mini-soccer pada siswa sekolah dasar atau sekolah menengah atas, untuk melihat apakah strategi ini tetap efektif di berbagai tingkat perkembangan. Selain itu, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada pengembangan variasi permainan mini-soccer yang lebih beragam, dengan mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor seperti ukuran lapangan, jumlah pemain, dan aturan permainan yang berbeda, untuk mengidentifikasi kombinasi optimal yang dapat memaksimalkan peningkatan keterampilan dan pemahaman taktis siswa. Terakhir, penelitian dapat menggali lebih dalam dampak psikologis dari mini-soccer, seperti peningkatan motivasi intrinsik, kepercayaan diri, dan kerjasama tim, melalui metode pengumpulan data kualitatif seperti wawancara atau observasi partisipan, untuk memberikan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang manfaat pembelajaran berbasis permainan.
