The Effect Of Drilling Methods on Basic Mini-Volleyball Skills Among Extracurricular Participants At Kwadungan Kediri Elementary School

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the drilling method on the underhand passing skills of mini volleyball extracurricular participants at Kwadungan Kediri Elementary School. The background of this study is the low level of underhand passing skills among participants, characterized by difficulties in movement coordination, ball contact accuracy, and target accuracy. This research employed a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population comprised all mini volleyball extracurricular participants in grades 3–6 at Kwadungan Kediri Elementary School, totaling 65 students. A sample of 20 participants was selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through performance tests of underhand passing skills administered before and after treatment. Data analysis included descriptive analysis, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, N-Gain test, and paired sample t-test with a significance level of ? = 0.05. The results indicate that: (1) There is a significant effect of the drilling method on underhand passing skills, evidenced by a paired sample t-test result showing a p-value < 0.05; (2) The magnitude of the effect falls into the medium category, with an N-Gain value of 0.4098 or approximately 40.98%. It is concluded that the drilling method is effective in improving underhand passing skills of mini volleyball extracurricular participants at  Kwadungan Kediri Elementary School.
