The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of technical training on selected basic basketball skills in Madda Walabu University male third-year sport science students. Twenty-eight (28) male sport science students were selected by the census sampling techniques. For this study, a quantitative research method was used. Because this method involves measurable quantities, this would give a set of numerical data. A pretest-and-posttest randomized experimental design was employed. Statistically significant differences have been detected between the pre-test and post-test values in the experimental group in speed dribbling (p = 0.01), chest passing (p = 0.003), and stationary two-point shooting skills (p =.000), but in the control group in speed dribbling (p = 1.000), chest passing (p = 0.239), and stationary two-point shooting skills (p = 0.547). The results of the study showed that by providing systematic and gradual increments in both duration and intensity of basketball technical training with an eight-week intervention, statistically significant improvements and changes were observed in the students speed dribbling, chest passing, and stationary two-point shooting skills. The researcher concluded that regular participation in basketball technical training had a significant effect on the improvement and enhancement of selected basic basketball skills and performances. Further study shall be done by increasing basic basketball skills through increasing subjects and taking a maximum period of training duration (increasing subjects and adding basic basketball skills require a long period of time with a well-programmed training schedule).
