1 INTRODUCTION

Soccer game is challenging, particularly on the

physical and mental sides. Players must make

moves that are highly skilled in sharing situations in

the field under limited time, physical and mental

drainage while facing opponents. Each player must

put out his best ability to display the good game and

good team performances in a match. In this case the

coach has the dominant role to escort the players to

reach their best performance. In addition to physical

and mental, there are more basic things that must be

possessed by a soccer player. The basic techniques

soccer players need to have are kicking, stopping,

dribbling, heading, tackling, and throwing in and

goal keeping (Sucipto, 2000).

A real soccer game is a team game. Despite high-

skilled player’s domination in certain conditions,

soccer players must depend on each other team

members to create beautiful games and make quick

and right decisions. To succeed in teamwork, one of

the most important techniques that must be mastered

and occupied are passing and controlling skills. Why

are these passing and ball controlling skills crucial?

Passing and receiving the ball skills form a vital

connection that links the eleven players into a unit

that functions better than its parts alone (Luxbacher,

1997). The accuracy, pace and timing of ball

releases are an important parts of a successful

combination of ball passes. Players must be able to

pass and control the ball well post-ball passing by

another team player. A poor skill of passing and

receiving a ball will result in losing the ball passed

by another player and missing the opportunity to

create goals.

In an Indonesian sports science media research

journal by Anam mentions that the technique of

kicking a ball is the basis in playing soccer, because

a good team consists of the players mastered the

technique of well ball kicking (Anam, 2013).

Kicking is the most important part, a soccer player

who cannot kick the ball properly is unlikely to be a

good soccer player. This is due to almost every team

always gets a victory (scoring goals) because of the

kicks. Speaking of kicking the ball (passing) will not

be separated from the technique of stopping the ball,

one of the factors that determines the success of a

player passing is the ability of the player when he

first touches the ball. Based on some of the above

explanations, the authors conclude that the basic

technical ability to kick and stop the ball has a very

vital role in soccer.

Indonesian soccer team is one of the teams with

poor passing accuracy. A research conducted by

Ikhsan shows that the level of passing accuracy of

local Indonesian soccer professional athletes of

league 1 Indonesia 2017 was in the "very poor"

category by 3.70% (4 athletes), the "poor" category

by 30.55% (33 athletes), the "moderate" category by

41.66% (45 athletes), the "good" category by 12 ,

96% (14 athletes), and the category of "very good"

at 11.11% (12 athletes) (Ikhsan, 2018). Retracted

from the data, it can be seen that the level one soccer

athletes in Indonesia are still dominated by athletes

with very poor, poor, and moderate passing accuracy

with a percentage of 75.91%, while the good and

very good categories are only 24.07%. From these

data the authors hypothesize to improve the

condition requires new things to make the process of

training of the athlete candidates (young age) to be

better in the future.

Young age is a potential period in physical

development and growth. In the book Diktat

Perkembangan Motorik, the age of 11-14 years is a

period of dramatic growth and development occur.

At this time, exercise aimed to increase muscle

strength and pulmonary fitness. Endurance exercises

can increase oxygen input by 33% or more.

Variation of skill trainings as well as the right

techniques began to be trained on athletes and began

to be prepared to follow heavier trainings (Sukamti,

2011). According to Sukadiyanto, the characteristics

regarding the purpose of training and readiness of

children at the age of 11 to 13 years are enrichment

of movement skills, refinement of techniques and

preparation to improve trainings, and at the age of

14 to 18 years namely regarding training

improvements, entering special training in

accordance with the sport involved and the

frequency of competition must be increased.

Whereas according to (Scheunemann, 2014) there

are four age groups of training in football namely the

beginner level (Fun Phase) which is 5-8 years, the

basic level (Foundation) is 9-12 years, the

intermediate level (Formative Phase) which is 13-14

years and advanced level (Final Youth) that is 15-20

years.

The world of sports has become a part of the

world affected by technological advancement. In the

field of achievement, the coach certainly plays an

important participant in accomplish the maximum

achievement of an athlete, player or a team. Coaches

who are adept at collaborating between science and

technology will become more valuable and popular

trainers. Supports in science and technology are

mandatory in order to manifest the achievement, as

stated by Minister for Youth and Sports Affairs

period 2013-2014 Roy Suryo in "Teknologi Pemicu

Prestasi Olahraga Indonesia” seminar that sports

develop rapidly so that technology is required for the

improvement of the athletes’ skills. Developments

occur in all sports sectors, as well as a manifestation

of education, recreation, and achievement. Intensive

and massive use of technology is a necessity in

improve sports performance. "Every stakeholder,

without exception, must understand the role of

sports technology and be able to use it. This

technology must be one of the main components in

the national sports system, which must be managed

seriously (kemenpora.go.id).

What is happening in the fields now is the lack

of use of simple technology as a medium of training

carried out by some trainers. Most trainers still rely

too much on the training models of the previous

trainers. Whereas today technology has become an

important part as a medium for training in developed

countries, one of which is as a tool for passing

training. Other facts what happens at this time of

SSB in Yogyakarta even in Indonesia, there is no

utilization of technology used for passing training.

Based on the observations of researchers during

practical work at a soccer school in Yogyakarta and

being an assistant coach at SSO Real Madrid

Yogyakarta, shows that the basic technical abilities

of students in playing soccer are still poor,

particularly in terms of passing accuracy and ball

controlling which are ultimately crucial to support

the quality of students in the game. Many found

beginner students still have difficulty in learning

passing techniques and controlling the ball well.

Many students are not careful in controlling the ball

and are inaccurate when passing or kicking to the

goal.

As time goes by, coaches in a sport are required

to keep going forward and innovating. Including

soccer, not a few of the world's top coaches

collaborate their knowledge with technology.

Technology are able to assist the performance of the

coaches themselves in improving player

performance. From observations and interviews

conducted by researchers at 4 SSBs in Yogyakarta

namely SSO Real Madrid UNY, SSB Bathuretno

(Bantul), SSB Matra (Sleman), and SSB Putri

Binangun (Kulonprogo), it is obtained that the

trainers are aware of the significance of basic

technical skills particularly in passing in a soccer

The Development of Topc Soccer for Practice Passing and Control Techniques for 11 to 12 Years-old Children

game. The coach also has the notion that the players’

skills will be improved if they have commitment to

do extra independent training besides their main

trainings, but until now there is no training aid that

can be used by players to facilitate technical training

that supports individual training to be improved in

training at SSB or outside SSB.

Based on the above background the researchers

hypothesize that the basic technical skills in soccer

that support the quality of the technique, particularly

passing and controlling, are highly required in the

game of soccer. One of the tools potentially used for

technical training is Toc ball. Toc ball is a new

breakthrough tool in soccer, this tool is used to

practice basic techniques of passing and controlling

the ball. This tool allows players to get more touch

of the ball in a short time, practice the accuracy of

the position of the foot when kicking the ball, and

improve the quality of controlling and passing with

both players' feet (tocball.com). This tool is sold

widely in the market with prices ranging from 1.5

million to 2 million Rupiah, in one of the buying and

selling sites is sold at € 119.95 or approximately 1.6

million Rupiah (tweedehands.net). Toc ball tools are

relatively expensive for the lower middle class, and

also these tools are not yet available in the domestic

market. In addition to the relatively expensive price

of a Toc ball tool, it still has some shortcomings,

namely the absence of a manual book and product

bags, and the absence of a tool component that can

calculate automatically so that trainings can be more

measurable. Based on these, the authors attempt to

develop this tool in Indonesia under the name of

Topc Soccer tool (to passing to control Soccer) and

expected that this tool will be useful for the

improvement of soccer in Indonesia.

3.2 Discussion

The development of Topc Soccer to practice passing

and controlling techniques in soccer for children

aged 11-12 years designed and produced with the

aim to help the users in passing and controlling

technical training in soccer. The process of making

this product is through research and development

procedures. The development phase starts from: (1)

preliminary studies, (2) manufacture of products, (3)

expert validation and revision, (4) product trials;

small-scale trials/revisions and large-scale

trials/revisions, and (6) the final product. The

development of Topc Soccer is expected to be able

to assist the users in practicing passing and control

techniques in football, particularly individual

training that can be done alone outside the main

training at SSB/clubs or when training at SSB/clubs.

The development process is through research and

development procedures, some planning, design, and

evaluation. After the initial product is produced, it

needs to be evaluated to experts through validation

and needs to be tested on SSB players. The

evaluation phase is carried out by material expert

lecturers and media experts. While the research

stage is tested with small group trials and large

group trials.

Research and development of this tool is the

development of Topc Soccer for children aged 11-12

years. The discussion is as follows:

3.2.1 Component

This tool framework uses iron-based materials, the

use of iron not only to reduce the production costs

but also intended to strengthen the frame and

withstand shocks when the tool is used. The

component consists of a barbell pad base, slats, a

series of balls and a programming box. The barbell

pad base frame is designed in a circle and widened

to make the tool more stable when used, and the

circumference of the corrugated blade is made

thicker and reduced in order to reduce vibration

when the ball is kicked. The sensors in programming

box required for movement detections through

passing and the amount of passing that can be done.

This sensor is connected to arduino uno in the

programming box which functions to provide the

training mode that has been designed. This arduino

uno functions as the brain of the topc soccer tool,

supported by several components such as an infrared

sensor that functions as a sensor receiver, an LCD

screen used to send test results, and a buzzer as

audio to channel sound.

3.2.1 Quality of the Tool

The development of Topc Soccer tool for passing

and control techniques for children aged 11-12 years

tested 4 times, namely laboratory testing, expert

validation, small group trials and large group trials.

Overall, this tool is suitable to be used to train the

passing and controlling techniques of children aged

11-12 years.

The result of expert validation shows that both

media and material are already very feasible to be

tested, some of the inputs provided are aspects of the

use of materials and some input of tool designs that

will be applied. A small trial conducted to see the

quality of the development of this tool when it is

used. A total of 14 respondents did the training with

this tool. After obtaining the desired data, a big trial

with 30 respondents was conducted to see the

development of this Topc Soccer tool. Small group

and large group trials were carried out in FIK UNY's

field.

Based on the result of the analysis, it shows that

the assessment of media experts and material experts

on the development of Topc Soccer tools is in the

very feasible category. The assessment of media

experts on the development of Topc Soccer with a

percentage of 88% is in the very feasible category.

There was a revision from the media experts after

the first stage of validation was done to increase the

strength of the blades, and to add button writing

information. Material expert assessment of the

development of Topc Soccer with a percentage of

87% is in the very feasible category.

In a small-scale trial, the assessment was carried

out by 14 people consisting of 10 athletes and 4

coaches from the SSO Real Madrid Foundation

UNY. Data obtained from the result of small-scale

trials shows that Topc Soccer product assessment is

79% and in the category of "feasible". From these

data it can be interpreted that the Topc Soccer

product is worth testing in a large group test.

The Development of Topc Soccer for Practice Passing and Control Techniques for 11 to 12 Years-old Children

In a large-scale trial, the assessment was carried

out by 30 people consisting of 22 athletes and 8

coaches from the SSO Real Madrid Foundation

UNY. Data from the results of large-scale trials that

Topc Soccer product rating is 86% and in the

category "Very Eligible".

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of research and development of

Topc Soccer to practice passing and controlling

techniques for children aged 11-12 years it can be

concluded:
