The issue addressed in this study pertains to the inadequate lay-up shooting skills exhibited by basketball athletes engaged in the extracurricular program at SMA Negeri 1 Batipuh. This concern is hypothesized to stem from deficiencies in eye-hand coordination as well as low self-confidence in executing lay-up shots. The research adopted a correlational design with the objective of examining the potential relationship between eye-hand coordination, self-confidence, and lay-up shooting performance within the context of the extracurricular basketball program at SMA Negeri 1 Batipuh. Employing a quantitative methodology, the study utilized correlation analysis on a population of thirty athletes. Given that a total sampling technique was employed, the sample comprised thirty athletes as well. Eye-hand coordination was evaluated through the overhead and under arrest throw tests, self-confidence was gauged via a questionnaire, and lay-up shooting proficiency was assessed through an eight-repetition lay-up shooting test. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software. The findings indicated a significant correlation between eye-hand coordination, self-confidence, and lay-up shooting performance. Statistical analysis demonstrated an F-statistic of 312.860 with a significance level of 0.00, which is less than the criterion of 0.05. Consequently, it can be inferred that enhanced eye-hand coordination correlates with improved lay-up shooting skills; elevated self-confidence is associated with better performance in lay-up shooting; and, when both eye-hand coordination and self-confidence are enhanced, there is a concomitant and significant improvement in lay-up shooting performance.
