This study aims to improve emotion regulation abilities so that it can reduce the level of anxiety in members of the “X” Junior High School futsal extracurricular in a more in-depth and specific way. Emotion regulation is the ability to monitor, evaluate, and modify individual emotional reactions to achieve their goals (Thompson in Gross, 2007). The data was obtained from measuring the level of anxiety of competing futsal extracurricular members using a questionnaire developed by Ekawaldi in 2014 regarding competition anxiety (Ekawaldi, 2014) and an emotion regulation questionnaire developed by Handayani in 2005 regarding emotion regulation (Handayani, 2005), as well as some identity data. Respondents in this study were members of Junior High School Xs futsal extracurricular with the specifications of class VIII male students who would become the successors or regeneration of the futsal extracurricular futsal team. Based on the data analysis conducted, it can be concluded that members of the futsal extracurricular class, male students in class VIII, have problems related to poor emotional regulation, which affects their anxiety level. Based on the data analysis, it can be seen that there is a very significant difference between the results of the pre-test and post-test on emotion regulation, which is 0.000 (p < 0.01). Likewise with the anxiety problems faced by futsal extracurricular members, who have also experienced a decrease, which indicates that they have been able to minimize or reduce their feelings of anxiety. This was also reinforced by the existence of a very significant difference between the results of the pre-test and post-test, which was 0.000 (p < 0.01).
