Abstract

The sport of archery requires an accurate and fair classification system of athletes according to international standards. This community service research aims to introduce and implement the ArchiClass application as a technology-based innovation for athlete classification, as well as improve the understanding of the archery community at Al Ayyubi Archery Club Boyolali regarding sports with disabilities. This activity involved 50 athletes and 6 coaches. The methods used include socialization, application demonstration, simulation, and evaluation of participant responses. The results showed that participants gained a better understanding of the importance of fair and technology-based classification. Participants gain practical experience using ArchiClass, while coaches and parents gain new insights into archery. In addition, the implementation of this application encourages the creation of a more transparent and consistent classification process. The final evaluation showed that the majority of participants felt helped by the existence of the application and expressed readiness to implement it in training activities and competitions. This program successfully introduced ArchiClass as an effective tool and increased community awareness and understanding of disability sports.

Review

This community service research presents a timely and relevant initiative focusing on improving athlete classification in archery through the implementation of the ArchiClass application at Al Ayyubi Archery Club Boyolali. The study effectively introduces a technology-based innovation designed to foster a more accurate, fair, and transparent classification system, aligning with international standards. A notable strength is its dual objective: not only to implement the application but also to enhance the community's understanding of disability sports. The involvement of 50 athletes and 6 coaches suggests a substantial reach within the club, and the abstract indicates positive participant engagement and immediate benefits, including practical experience with ArchiClass and increased awareness for coaches and parents. The methodology employed, encompassing socialization, demonstration, simulation, and evaluation of participant responses, appears well-suited for a community service and educational intervention. While the abstract effectively communicates the *what* of the methods, it would benefit from further detail regarding the *how* of the evaluation – specifically, the tools and metrics used to assess "better understanding" and "new insights." Quantifying these gains, perhaps through pre- and post-intervention surveys or knowledge tests, would strengthen the empirical claims. Nevertheless, the reported immediate positive responses, with participants feeling "helped" and expressing readiness for implementation, are encouraging indicators of the program's initial success and the application's perceived utility. Overall, this initiative represents a valuable step towards modernizing athlete classification in archery clubs. The successful introduction of ArchiClass and the reported increase in community awareness regarding disability sports highlight its potential for broader adoption and impact beyond Al Ayyubi Archery Club. However, as a community service project, the abstract inherently focuses on implementation and initial reception rather than deep comparative analysis or long-term effectiveness. Future research could explore the sustained impact of ArchiClass on competition fairness, athlete development over time, and its potential integration into wider national or international archery management systems, especially regarding specific protocols for disability classification.
