Background. Identifying talent in young athletes is crucial for effective sports coaching. However, in Indonesia, early detection of basketball talent is often hindered by the limitations of current identification methods and tools. Objectives. This study aimed to enhance the current aptitude test for basketball players aged 10 to 14. To assess the effectiveness of the revised model, the study evaluated its validity and test-retest reliability using data from both male and female athletes. Materials and methods. To ensure validity, four doctoral-qualified experts and seven experienced basketball coaches with an average of 12.78±2.2 years coaching experience, with a type B license and bachelor’s degree in sports, evaluated the test. The test-retest reliability was assessed including 40 athletes aged 10 to 14 with an average age of 12.3±1.0 years, consisting of 20 males (height 160.2±1.3 cm, weight 47.5±7.2 kg, average training 3.5±4.6 years) and 20 females (height 157.2±3.7 cm, weight 44.5±6.3 kg, average training 3.2±6.6 years). All participants were regional champions. The test was administered twice, with a one-week interval between sessions. Results. The study produced three types of tests, namely anthropometry (height, weight, fat range, arm length), biomotor (endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, reaction, balance, general motion), basketball skills (dribbling, passing, shooting) with Aiken V >0.8 validity, test-retest with a product moment correlation of p<0.05 and r=0.786, and independent t-test on male athletes and female athletes sig. 0.134 or p<0.05. Conclusions. The findings indicate that the talent scouting model of Indonesian basketball athletes aged 10 to 14 has proven to be valid and reliable from the aspects of anthropometric tests, biomotor tests and basketball skills tests. The ease of implementation, clarity of instructions, and security of the test also add to the advantages of this model. In addition, this model can be applied to male and female athletes without significant differences. Further research is needed to facilitate ongoing development by adding psychological tests and expanding the number of samples.
