The Effect Of A Proposed Mini-games Program On The Development Of Certain Basic Skills (overhead And Underhand Passing) In Volleyball

Résumé

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a proposed mini-games-based program on developing certain basic volleyball skills—specifically, overhead passing and underhand passing. It was conducted as a field study on the school volleyball team (ages 15–18) at Khadija Umm Al-Mu’minin Secondary School in Batna. The study sample consisted of 12 players selected purposefully through a mini-volleyball tournament among the school’s classes. A pre-test was conducted to assess the overhead and underhand passing skills, followed by a 12-session training program using mini-games. A post-test was then administered. The experimental method was employed, and the results showed statistically significant improvements between the pre- and post-tests in both skills, favoring the post-test. This indicates the effectiveness of the program in enhancing the players’ performance.
