Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of paired underhand passing training in improving basic underhand passing skills among volleyball players of the Spenra Lumajang Club. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test and post-test control group design. A total of 20 athletes participated in the study and were randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 10). The experimental group received a paired underhand passing training program for 16 sessions over six weeks, while the control group continued with the club’s regular training program without additional technical intervention. Data were collected using the Brumbach Forearms Pass–Wall Volley Test to assess players’ underhand passing ability before and after the training intervention. Statistical analyses included tests of normality and homogeneity to ensure data suitability, followed by an Independent Sample t-test and gain score analysis at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that both groups experienced improvements in underhand passing performance; however, the experimental group demonstrated a significantly greater increase compared to the control group. These findings indicate that paired underhand passing training had a positive and statistically significant effect on enhancing the mastery of basic underhand passing techniques. The improvement observed in the experimental group suggests that paired training provides more effective movement repetition, immediate feedback, and better coordination between players, which are essential components in motor skill learning. In contrast, routine training without specific technical focus resulted in relatively limited performance gains. Therefore, paired underhand passing training can be considered an effective and practical training approach for improving basic volleyball skills, particularly in school-level athlete development programs. This study provides empirical evidence to support the integration of structured paired technical training into volleyball coaching practices.
