(This study aims to determine the impact of the service training model using a kick pad on the accuracy of the quadrant service in sepak takraw games for PPLP (Center for Student’s Sport Education and Training) Gorontalo athletes. Quadrant is one of the new numbers in sepak takraw games, which is also a mainstay of the Indonesian team. One of the crucial elements or factors for achieving an achievement in sports is the training model. The training model greatly impacts the development of athlete skills, especially in terms of service. This study employed an experimental design, particularly the one-group pretest-posttest design. The subjects in this study were 10 Sepak takraw athletes. The measuring instrument used was a service test based on the PPLP Skills Test Guidelines and Norms (2018). Meanwhile, data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistical tests. The study’s findings indicated a significant increase, where the t-count value was greater than the t-table value (t-count = 4.33 > t-table = 1.812) referring to the test criteria that reject H0: If t-count > t-table at α = 0.05; n-1. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis or Ha is confirmed because the t-count value is outside the H0 confirmation area. Thus, in brief, service training using a kick pad has significantly increased the accuracy of quadrant service in playing sepak takraw by PPLP Gorontalo athletes.
