This study was conducted based on the low underhand passing ability of eighth grade students in volleyball learning at SMPN 1 Palu, indicating the need for an effective training method to improve basic technical skills. This study aimed to analyze the effect of passing against the wall practice on improving volleyball underhand passing skills among Class VIII students of SMPN 1 Palu. The research employed an experimental method using a One Group Pre-test Post-test Design. The sample consisted of 25 students selected using total sampling. Data were collected through a volleyball underhand passing skill test administered in pre-test and post-test stages. The treatment consisted of structured passing against the wall exercises conducted three times per week for four weeks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ underhand passing performance after the intervention. The total pre-test score was 169 with a mean of 6.76, while the total post-test score increased to 267 with a mean of 10.68, resulting in a mean gain of 4.24. Hypothesis testing revealed that the calculated t-value was 9.79, which was greater than the t-table value of 1.711 at a significance level of 5% (df = 24). These findings indicate that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected. It can be concluded that passing against the wall practice had a significant positive effect on improving volleyball underhand passing skills and can be used as an effective instructional method to enhance students’ basic volleyball techniques.
