Background: Competitive anxiety is an important psychological factor that may influence athletes' readiness and performance during competition. However, empirical evidence regarding competitive anxiety among female sepak takraw athletes remains limited, particularly at the provincial athlete development level. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the anxiety levels of female athletes from the Central Java PPLOP Sepak Takraw program when facing competition. Method: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed. The participants consisted of 11 female PPLOP Sepak Takraw athletes from Central Java. Data were collected using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory–2 Revised (CSAI-2R), which comprises 17 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, including the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, minimum and maximum scores, and anxiety level classification. Data processing was carried out with the assistance of Microsoft Excel software. Result: The results showed that athletes’ anxiety scores ranged from 20 to 39, with a mean score of 32.64, a median of 33, and a standard deviation of 5.35. Based on the anxiety level classification, 10 athletes (90.91%) were categorized as having low anxiety, while 1 athlete (9.09%) fell into the very low anxiety category. No athletes were classified as having high or very high anxiety. Conclusion: These findings indicate that, overall, female athletes of the Central Java PPLOP Sepak Takraw program exhibit relatively low levels of anxiety when facing competition
