Physical fitness plays an essential role in supporting students’ health, physical performance, and overall quality of life. However, many students show low motivation to participate actively in physical fitness activities due to monotonous training methods. Therefore, innovative learning strategies are needed to improve students’ participation and physical development. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the pair model learning approach in improving underhand passing skills in volleyball among students of the Faculty of Sport Science (FIKK) at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). This research employed an experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 40 students who were divided into two groups: an experimental group that participated in volleyball learning using the pair model training approach and a control group that followed conventional learning methods. Data were collected using an underhand passing skill test conducted before and after eight training sessions. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, paired sample t-tests, and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement in underhand passing skills, with the average score increasing from 14.70 in the pretest to 19.15 in the posttest, while the control group improved from 14.70 to 17.90. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups with a significance value of 0.001 < α 0.025, indicating that the pair model learning approach had a positive and significant effect on improving students’ underhand passing skills. In conclusion, the pair model learning approach is effective in improving volleyball underhand passing skills, increasing student participation, and creating a more interactive and meaningful learning environment in volleyball instruction for FIKK UNM students.
