Background and Study Aim. The development of throwing is one of the most important basic skills. This throwing skill is very important for elementary school-age children. Failure to master throwing skills will lead to an inability to learn new movements related to the transfer of learning movements that require throwing movements, such as in volleyball, badminton, table tennis, field tennis, and other sports. This study aims to analyze the development of shooting motion in elementary school students aged 6–11 years. Materials and Methods. This research is a quantitative study, and the research design conducted is cross-sectional. Totaling 244 students 112 boys and 132 girls. The shooting test is given, with each child getting 10 opportunities with 3 attempts before doing it. Used a size 5 basketball ball specifically for children. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2019 and SPSS IMB Series 22. Descriptive statistics were used to see the development of shooting ability, and the Kruskall-Wallis non-parametric test was used to see differences between upper and lower class groups. Results. The results showed that boys have higher shooting mastery development than girls. Boys until the age of 8 years show an increase in the development of throwing ability; at the age of 9 years, there is a slight decrease in development; and at the ages of 9 years, 10 years, and 11 years, the development begins to increase again. Likewise with girls, their development is not much different and has increased linearly from the age of 6 years to 11 years. Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that it clearly proves that the shooting achievement ability of children aged 6–11 years is developmentally different.
