This study explores how futsal extracurricular activities contribute to the development of leadership qualities and teamwork skills among students at SMP IT Madina Samarinda. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws primarily on in-depth interviews with students, coaches, and supervising teachers. The findings indicate that participation in futsal plays a substantial role in fostering leadership attributes, including responsibility, discipline, decision-making abilities, and effective communication. Futsal also serves as a social learning platform that strengthens teamwork through coordination, solidarity, and mutual empathy among players. The group dynamics emerging during training sessions and competitions enable students to practice emotional regulation, appreciate individual differences, and manage conflicts in constructive ways. These experiences further cultivate positive character traits such as sportsmanship, confidence, and commitment to shared goals. Theoretically, the results reinforce the concepts of experiential learning and shared leadership, emphasizing that team-based sports function as an effective medium for character and leadership development. Thus, within the school setting, futsal acts not only as a physical activity but also as a holistic character-building program that nurtures youth to become collaborative and principled individuals.
