Abstract
Sports is an excellent way to increase many important values in life (including developing positive youth). This study aims to improve and develop positive youth development through the life skills programme that has been prepared. This study uses a quantitative method with a pre-test–post-test control group design approach. In this study, the researcher used a sampling technique, namely purposive sampling, with a total of 30 students aged 11–12 years. Then, the group was divided into three, namely (1) groups with basketball practice and integrated with life skills; (2) groups with basketball practice but not integrated with life skills; and (3) groups without basketball practice and also without integrating life skills. The test instrument uses the Life Skills for Sport Scale. The results of the study show that group A is better than groups B and C. These results have implications for the trainers to be able to incorporate life skills into the programme designed.
