Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the impact of volleyball education on the levels of trait anxiety of 9-12-year-old female students. The sample of the study is a group of 9-12-year-old girls from the Düzce Volleyball Youth and Sports Club in 2021-2022, who have just begun the sport. In total, 37 female students volunteered to participate in the study. This study is the single group pretest-posttest model, which is one of the pre-experimental models. As a data collection tool, trait anxiety Scale (CKDSE) is used developed by Spielberger (1973) to measure individual differences in children's anxiety and is the lower scale of children's State-constant anxiety inventory. As an analysis method, the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to compare two associated samples. When the findings are analyzed, it is understood that there is a significant difference between the pre-test scores for trait anxiety and the final test scores for trait anxiety for girls attending volleyball training (p<.05). The results of the study are important to guide families and coaches.
