Design and application of a test to measure the accuracy of receiving in volleyball using the forearm pass for female students

Abstract

The primary aim of this study was to design and apply a test to measure the accuracy of receiving in volleyball using the forearm pass for female students. In the current study, third year students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences of the University of Baghdad were recruited as the participants of the study in the academic year 2018/2019. A total of 73 female students were recruited. Based on the findings of this study, the researcher concluded that the accuracy of receiving in volleyball using the forearm pass for the female students analyzed was below average, as most of them showed below average performance. The researcher recommends to adopt the test prepared in this study to assess the level of accuracy of female students, in order to determine their degree of development. The researcher also recommends to pay attention to the development of accuracy among students by giving them more time to train accuracy during the volleyball lessons.
