Objective: To identify the impact of an enjoyable learning approach on some volleyball skill abilities of talented students aged 10-12 years.
Research methodology: The researchers followed the experimental approach, designing two equivalent groups with pre-tests and post-tests, to suit the nature of the research and its problem. The research community was defined as talented players aged (10-12) years, affiliated with the Specialized Volleyball Center in Babylon, numbering (42) talented players. The research sample of (30) talented players was randomly selected by lottery, resulting in a percentage of (71.43%).
Results: The results showed significant differences between the pre- and post-tests in some of the skill abilities in volleyball for the experimental and control groups, in favor of the post-tests for both groups. The researchers attribute the reason for the significant differences for the control group to the coach’s method, which provided a clear idea of how to perform the skill correctly, and the ability to correct errors that may appear among the members of this group while performing the skill abilities.
Conclusions: The enjoyable learning approach adopted within the educational units played a significant and positive role in increasing the values of the skill abilities (overhand passing, underhand passing, and underhand serving) in volleyball for talented students.
