This study aims to analyze the effect of high-lob technique on petanque sport pointing using a concrete field surface. The method used is descriptive research with implementation at the Petanque Laboratory of Surabaya State University. The subjects of the study were five Unesa petanque athletes who were selected based on their technical skills. Data collection techniques include field observation, skill tests, documentation, and data analysis using the Kinovea and Capcut applications. The results showed that at a distance of 6 meters, the release angle was 63.5°, the height was 3.53 m, the rolling distance was 35 cm, and the final result was 8.5 cm. At a distance of 7 meters, the release angle was 63.4°, the height was 4.01 m, the rolling distance was 53 cm, and the final result was 10.4 cm. At a distance of 8 meters, the release angle was 62.3°, the height was 3.99 m, the rolling distance was 59 cm, and the final result was 13.4 cm. Meanwhile, at a distance of 9 meters, the release angle is 60.3°, the height is 4.16 m, the roll is 53 cm, and the final result is 19.2 cm. All parameters have met the effectiveness criteria based on existing references, except for the rolling distances at 7, 8, and 9 meters which exceed the ideal limit. These results imply that adjusting the drop point and increasing the angle and height of the bounce can optimize the results of the high-lob pointing technique.

The rapid evolution of digital technology has significantly impacted various sports, including niche ones like petanque. This study explores the perceived benefits and barriers of using an Android-based application for scoring and statistics management in petanque, a sport gaining popularity in Indonesia. Traditionally, performance assessment in petanque relied on manual, paper-based methods, prone to inaccuracies and inefficiencies. An Android app, Petanque Match Statistics, was developed to address these challenges, offering real-time data accuracy, improved workflow, and enhanced performance analysis. This study employed a quantitative approach, surveying 50 participants (35 players and 15 coaches) in Surabaya, Indonesia, to assess their impressions of the app's usability, accuracy, efficiency, and overall satisfaction. Results indicated high ratings across all parameters, with no significant differences between players and coaches. The app was commended for its intuitive design, reliability, and time-saving efficiency. Findings highlight the potential of digital solutions to modernise petanque match administration, enhance strategic decision-making, and improve the user experience. The study underscores the importance of user-centred design in facilitating the adoption of digital advancements in sports, offering valuable insights for future developments in petanque and other emerging sports.

Mental toughness training is an important requirement for young Petanque athletes, given that this sport demands high concentration, emotional stability, and the ability to respond quickly and appropriately to competitive pressure. This community service program aims to improve the psychological abilities of young athletes through training focused on anxiety management, strengthening focus, developing a positive mindset, and increasing self-confidence. The training method was conducted classically through the delivery of material and direct practice designed according to the psychological needs of FOPI East Java athletes. The evaluation of the training results showed an increase in mental toughness, reflected in the athletes' ability to cope with the pressure of competition, maintain calm, and maintain concentration in competitive situations. The athletes also showed an increase in mental preparedness, a more stable response to pressure, and a more positive mindset towards their abilities. These results indicate that psychological intervention through mental resilience training plays an important role in supporting the performance of Petanque athletes, while also serving as the basis for the development of follow-up programs that focus on mental aspects as an integral part of performance development. This program makes a significant contribution to the character building and competitive readiness of young athletes on an ongoing basis.

This article and research aim to develop a training program focused on shooting and pointing techniques for East Java athletes in preparation for the upcoming Aceh-Sumut XXI Pre-National Sports Week (PRAPON). Shooting techniques are a fundamental skill in petanque, essential for scoring points and displacing the opponent’s ball from the jack. Meanwhile, pointing involves throwing techniques aimed at positioning the ball close to the jack. This study involved East Java Puslatda athletes undergoing regular training sessions as preparation for PRAPON Aceh-Sumut XXI. The method used in this study is Research and Development (R&D). The findings demonstrate that the developed training program can enhance the quality of East Java athletes’ shooting and pointing techniques, thereby aiming to achieve optimal results at PRAPON Aceh-Sumut XXI.

This research aims to determine, 1) improvement in shooting technique through the resistance band training method, 2) improvement in shooting technique through the dumbbell training method, 3) calculation of improvement in shooting technique through the training method using resistance bands and dumbbells. The research method used in this research is an experiment with a quantitative approach and a Two Group Pretest Posttest Design research design. The subjects of this research were 30 Petanque athletes, students at SDN Rawamangun 09, taken using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by conducting a shooting technique skills test at a distance of 6 meters using 1 target ball and 10 throws for each athlete. Data analysis was carried out using dependent and independent "t tests" with a significance level of 0.5. Research results: 1) training using Resistance Bands, obtained a t count of 6.2 which is greater than the t table of 2.145, so it means that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, meaning there is a significant increase, 2) training using Dumbbells, obtained a t count of 1.65 more smaller than the t table of 2.145, then H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected, meaning there is no significant improvement, 3) comparing the final test results of the two training methods, the results obtained are, t count 2.66 is greater than t table 2.048, meaning there is a difference between Resistance Band training method using Dumbbell exercises. So it can be concluded that there is a significant change in Resistance Band training with an average of 4.93 and Dumbbell training results with an average of 3.6.

Maximum achievement in sports is the main goal that must be achieved by all athletes, both individually and collectively. Producing peak performance requires scheduled and targeted coaching. Based on this, researchers conducted this research to determine the context, input, process and product for assessing the development of Petanque sports achievements in the Tulungagung area. The research method uses non-experimental methods with qualitative descriptive analysis. From the data sources obtained, this research method is document analysis. The research results show that the development of iron sports achievements has several advantages because this sport is increasingly popular and has received support from the government and society. However, there are also weaknesses in limited infrastructure and lack of funds to develop achievements. Apart from that, a number of opportunities have been identified, such as increasing public interest in the sport of snooker and the potential to produce outstanding athletes at international level. However, there are also threats, such as intense competition from other ancient sports. It was concluded that the achievements of the sport of petanque in Tulungagung were supported by athletes who excelled but did not receive adequate support.    

. Petanque is a relatively new sport at the moment. This pétanque sport includes games where the props are an iron ball (BOSI) and a wooden ball (BOKA).

Petanque yang berasal dari Perancis merupakan olahraga baru yang belum terlalu populer di kalangan masyarakat Indonesia. Masih kalah dari sepak bola, bulu tangkis, bola basket, atau bola voli. Dari referensi dan observasi sosial yang dilakukan, sejumlah faktor penyebab bukan hanya relatif baru, tetapi juga karena petanque belum tersosialisasi secara luas, masif, dan merata. Sebagai fakta umum, beberapa orang memiliki sedikit pengetahuan sebelumnya dan tidak dapat membayangkan apa itu olahraga Petanque. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk memperkenalkan Petanque kepada masyarakat Kabupaten Brebes. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di lapangan petanque tepatnya di Kompleks Gor Sasana Adhi Karsa Brebes. Materi yang diberikan dalam pengabdian ini adalah tentang teknik dan aturan yang digunakan dalam permainan petanque. Kegiatan sosialisasi ini dilakukan dengan metode demonstrasi terkait pelaksanaan permainan petanque. Dari kegiatan yang dilakukan diharapkan akan lahir atlet-atlet petanque profesional yang dapat mengikuti kejuaraan baik di tingkat daerah maupun nasional maupun internasional.
