Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the impact of training medias (using batting tee and hanging ball) and hand-eye coordination of hitting skill in softball. This research is conducted at Altras softball team. Using 2x2 factorial design. The analysis of variance between groups is at level of significance a = 0,05. This research also aimed to find out the link between training medias and hand-eye coordination toward hitting skill on softball. Hand-eye coordination consists of high and low levels. This research was carried out in Altras softball team. The sample consists of 40 athletes who are divided into four group, each group consists of 10 athletes. The data analysis techniques use in this research were two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and further continued by Tukey test at a=0,05 level of significance. The results of this research show that (1) in general, hitting success for group of athletes who training with the use of batting tee is better than the group of athlete who  trained with the use of hanging ball, (2) there some link between training media and hand-eye coordination toward hitting success on softball, (3) for high hand-eye coordination which uses batting tee training media is batter than the which uses hanging ball training media (4) for low hand-eye coordination uses hanging ball is better than the which uses batting tee training at a=0,05 level of significance
