Abstract

Background

Volleyball is a core component in physical education curricula and plays a significant role in developing motor skills, teamwork, and strategic thinking. However, many physical education students lack sufficient practical exposure to fundamental volleyball techniques and game strategies, which are essential for effective teaching and performance in future educational settings.

Objectives

This community service initiative aimed to enhance the volleyball instructional competence of Physical Education students at Universitas Nusa Cendana by providing intensive training in basic techniques and game strategies.

Methods

The training was conducted over a three-day period and involved 25 Physical Education students. The program included a combination of theoretical workshops, practical skill sessions, and simulated teaching experiences. Core components of the training focused on passing, serving, setting, spiking, team formations, and rotation systems. Data were collected using observational checklists and reflective feedback forms to evaluate the participants’ skill acquisition and instructional readiness.

Results

Participants demonstrated marked improvements in technical execution, particularly in passing and serving accuracy, spiking coordination, and court movement. Additionally, students gained a clearer understanding of offensive and defensive strategies, including team formations and rotational play. Reflections indicated increased confidence and readiness to teach volleyball in school environments.

Conclusion

The training program effectively enhanced the technical skills and pedagogical understanding of volleyball among Physical Education students. This initiative underscores the value of practical, structured training in preparing future educators to deliver high-quality sports instruction and suggests the need for similar programs across other sports disciplines.
