The growing importance of locomotor skills in physical education has led to a need for more engaging and effective teaching strategies. This study aims to examine the effect of modified basketball games on the locomotor skills of junior high school students. A pre-experimental design with a single-group pre-test and post-test design was used in this study. Thirty-eight-grade students from Class VIII-A at SMP Negeri 47 Surabaya were selected as participants using purposive sampling. The game modification involved an 8-on-8 format combined with a maximum of 5 dribbles per possession before a pass could be made. Data were collected using an observation instrument consisting of 18 valid items (α = 0.883) rated on a five-point Likert scale. Normality of the data was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test for pre-test data (W = 0.970, p = 0.531) and post-test data (W = 0.931, p = 0.053). A paired-sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement (t = −3.71, df = 29, p < 0.001), with the mean score increasing from 80.0 (SD = 9.79) to 88.8 (SD = 14.5). These findings indicate that modifications to the basketball game significantly improve students’ locomotor skills. These game modifications can serve as an innovative and effective alternative in physical education, contributing to a more dynamic and participatory learning experience for junior high school students
