Abstract
To determine the training program^s success rate, a valid and reliable test tool is needed. This study aims to develop a backhand serve test model for junior badminton athletes. This research method is a research and development method with a sample size of more than 120 athletes divided into ten badminton clubs in Central Java. This study involved academics and badminton practitioners with an excellent design validation score that reached an average score above 3.5. This research is a product of the development of the Short Serve Test Model, which is equipped with the test norms for junior badminton athletes. The Short Serve Test^s validity score reaches 0.702, and the reliability of the test reaches a score of 0.910. The Serve Test model developed is proven to be used for measuring the serve test skills of junior badminton athletes because, in this study, the samples used were athletes aged 15-18 years. Of course, the developed test model will be useful as a measuring tool for the backhand to test for junior badminton athletes at the regional level.
