The results showed an increase in the average score from the pre-test (69.05) to the post-test (80.10). Based on the t-test analysis, the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that there was a significant effect of soccer invasion games on improving students' motor skills.
