Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to determine the relationship between the acquisition of volleyball skills and the motivation of teenage female students. This research is practical in terms of purpose and is semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with two experimental groups. The statistical population of the present study were female students in the second secondary level (mean age M = 16.5, standard deviation = 0.85) in the city of Nasiriyah, Iraq. The research sample was formed by 30 female students who were available and volunteered. People were randomly divided into two groups of 15 people. One group learned claw skills and one group learned open volleyball serve skills. The claw motor skills acquisition test and volleyball service were conducted based on effort's motor skill test. Also, the progress motivation questionnaire (AMQ) was completed before and after the volleyball skills training and the data was collected for comparison. Pearson's correlation test was used to determine the relationship between the acquisition of open and closed movement skills in volleyball with motivation to progress. The results showed that there is a direct and significant relationship between the acquisition of claw movement skills and the volleyball serve with motivation to progress. Therefore, as the motivation for progress increases, the acquisition of motor skills improves in open and closed environments, and people show better performance.
