Dribbling skill is one of the fundamental techniques in football that plays a crucial role in maintaining ball possession, overcoming opponents, and creating scoring opportunities. The development of dribbling ability requires appropriate and systematic training methods that can improve both physical and technical performance. However, studies examining the effectiveness of ladder drill single foot hop training on dribbling skills among adolescent football players remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of ladder drill single foot hop training on the dribbling ability of football players at SMP Negeri 1 Lembo. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 18 participants who were members of the school’s extracurricular football team and were selected using a total sampling technique. The intervention was conducted for six weeks with a training frequency of three sessions per week. Dribbling performance was measured before and after the intervention using a standardized dribbling test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the average dribbling time improved from 15.50 ± 1.44 seconds at pre-test to 13.38 ± 1.00 seconds at post-test. The intervention increased dribbling performance effectiveness by 13.68%, with statistical analysis revealing a highly significant difference (p < 0.001). In conclusion, ladder drill single foot hop training significantly improves dribbling skills and can be recommended as an effective training method for developing football performance among
