Summary:Background and Study Aim. Basketball is a community or group sport that requires skill, physical fitness and good speed in order to perform dribbling techniques to the maximum. However, it is possible that there are many supporting factors that affect a player's dribbling ability. This study aims to prove the relationship between eye-hand coordination and basketball dribbling ability. Material and Methods. This research uses descriptive methods with correlational research types and quantitative approaches. The sampling technique in this study used total sampling involving all male students of grade VIII, totaling 48 students. The research instrument used was a test for measuring the eye and hand coordination using the throw-catch test and dribbling skills using a basketball. The data analysis through the prerequisite normality, linearity, and correlation tests is assisted by using the SPSS 26 application. Results. The results of calculating the correlation of eye-hand coordination with basketball dribbling skills are 0.009 <0.05, which shows a significant relationship. The study concluded that hand-eye coordination with basketball dribbling skills in male students of class VIII SMP St. Francis of Assisi, North Pontianak had a meaningful relationship. Conclusions. The results of this study can provide a new reference to the supporting factors for dribbling skills in basketball games. Recommendations for further research reveal the relationship between balance or reaction and basketball dribbling ability.
