The Impact of Using Exercises Based on Strategic Offensive Formations on Learning Some Basic Handball Skills for Students Aged 11-12 Years

Abstract

Research Abstract:
The current study aimed to design exercises based on offensive formations and to identify their impact on learning some basic handball skills. The research sample consisted of fifth-grade primary school students, divided into experimental and control groups. The researcher employed the experimental method, applying the exercises over eight weekly units to measure their impact on learning specific basic handball skills (dribbling, passing, and shooting) as part of the Ministry of Education curriculum. The researcher used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) to analyze and extract the study results based on skill tests.

The key findings indicated that using offensive formations (6.0 and 5.1) significantly contributed to learning certain basic handball skills among the research sample. One of the main recommendations was to use other offensive formations to teach additional handball skills.
