Abstract

This study aims to identify the effect of developing agility and quickness on some physical abilities and defensive skills for volleyball juniors, the experimental method with the experimental design used on one experimental group with a (pre-post) way of measurement.

The research sample was selected in an intentional way to represent 14 volleyball players under 15 years old at the Ghazl Al Mahalla sports club for the 2023-2024 season. The proposed training program was applied using agility and quickness drills for a period of (12) training weeks with (3) training units per week, and the physical abilities under discussion (explosive power, coordination, accuracy, reaction time, quickness), and the defensive skills were (block, defense, receive).

The statistical treatment included the mathematical mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, T-test, and improvement ratios. The results of the study showed statistically significant differences at the level of 0.05 between pre- and post-tests, favoring post-tests in each of the physical, and skillful measurement tests, which were attributed by the researcher to using agility and quickness drills within the suggested training program.

The researcher recommends that there is a need to direct attention toward using agility and quickness drills in volleyball training programs.
