Background. The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly impacted physical education, especially in providing accessible, up-to-date athletic competition rules, which are often challenging to access through conventional resources. Objectives. This study aimed to develop an Android-based application offering comprehensive, regularly updated rule information to support students' understanding and practical application of athletic rules. Methods. Following a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the app was designed, developed in Android Studio, and refined based on expert and student feedback. Results. Initial validity scores were 75% for content, 83% for language, and 67% for media, which improved to 97%, 98%, and 96% following revisions. In trials involving 20 and 40 students, the application scored up to 100% in media usability, confirming its effectiveness. Conclusion. This tool presents a practical solution for students learning competition rules and holds potential for further features, such as augmented reality, to enhance interactive learning experiences. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA).
