Efforts to Improve Volleyball Lower Passing Through Paired Drill in STKIP PGRI Bangkalan Students

Abstrak

This study aims to improve the lower passing ability of volleyball class 2021 students at STKIP PGRI Bangkalan through the paired drill method. The background of this study is the low mastery of basic lower-level passing techniques, such as body position, arm contact, and the direction of the ball's bounce. This study used a class action approach, which was carried out in two cycles. In the initial condition (pre-action), the average student score was 62.6, with most of them in the sufficient and insufficient categories. After the action in Cycle I, the average score increased to 72.4, with more students in the good and very good categories. In Cycle II, there was a more significant increase with the average score reaching 82.1, and all students were at least in the sufficient category. The results show that the paired drill method is effective in improving the ability of lower passing, because it increases the intensity of practice, provides immediate feedback, and fosters cooperation and concentration between students. The implication of this study emphasizes the importance of using the paired drill method.
