Identifying basketball talent in 11–15 year olds using sport search
Abstract
This study aims to identify the talents and potential of basketball athletes aged 11–15 years who are
members of the Tanaka Basketball Club in North Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province. The
study used a descriptive method with a quantitative approach. The research subjects consisted of 35
athletes, comprising 20 male athletes and 15 female athletes. The instrument used was the Sport Search
talent identification test, which included measurements of biomotor abilities such as coordination,
strength, explosive power, agility, speed, and endurance. Data analysis was performed using percentage
techniques to group the athletes' talent levels. The results showed that of the 35 athletes, 3% were in the
highly potential category, 28% in the potential category, 32% in the moderately potential category, 34%
in the less potential category, and 3% in the not potential category. These findings indicate that most
athletes fall into the moderately potential and less potential categories, thus requiring further targeted
training according to the athletes' talent profiles. The Sport Search method has been proven to be a useful
initial tool in guiding early-age basketball talent.
