Abstract
This study investigated the effect of structured volleyball activities on the motor performance of students enrolled in Physical Education at Bohol Island State University, Bilar Campus, Philippines, during the second semester of the academic year 2024–2025. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was employed with 37 students who fully participated in volleyball sessions. The intervention included fundamental drills such as serving, passing, blocking, setting or tossing, and spiking. Motor performance was measured using a validated and expert-reviewed instrument, and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. Pre-test results indicated very poor levels of motor performance across most skills, reflecting limited ability in volleyball fundamentals. Post-test findings revealed significant improvement, with most skills assessed at a very good level, and serving obtained the highest mean score. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. The results highlighted the effectiveness of structured volleyball activities in enhancing students’ motor performance and physical competence.
