Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the drill method on forearm passing technique skills in volleyball among novice male athletes of the Nirwana Estate Volleyball Club, Bogor.The main issue faced by the club is the low level of forearm passing skills, which negatively impacts the team's performance during tournaments. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design (one-group pre-test and post-test design), involving 20 athletes as research subjects. The instrument used was a forearm passing skills test.The results showed an increase in the average test score from 28.15 (pre-test) to 38.05 (post-test), with a mean difference of 9.90 points. The t-test showed a t-value of 13.585, which is greater than the critical t-value of 1.729 at a significance level of 0.05, indicating a significant effect. The improvement in forearm passing skills reached 35.16%.Therefore, the drill method is proven to be effective in enhancing the forearm passing skills of novice athletes in volleyball.
