<![CDATA[This study originated from the monotonous training methods used in practicing various smash attacks in volleyball. Players relied solely on attacks from the front position, while the setter had limitations in organizing the team’s smash attack patterns, causing the smashes to be easily blocked by opposing players. In addition, there was a lack of strategic training models provided by the coach during practice sessions. As a result, the team frequently experienced defeats in competitions and had difficulty facing opponents whose attacking patterns were highly accurate and effective. This study aimed to improve smash ability in volleyball at the RVS Kuamang Club. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a “one-group pre-test–post-test design.” The population of this study consisted of 24 members of the RVS Kuamang Club. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in a sample of 10 members who met the criteria determined by the researcher. The research instrument used was a smash ability test. Data analysis techniques included a normality test and hypothesis testing using the t-test. Based on the results of the study, the pre-test showed an average score of 7.9, while the post-test showed an average score of 16.9. The hypothesis testing results indicated that the calculated t-value (3.13) was greater than the t-table value (1.83). Therefore, it can be concluded that there was a difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores, which means that the training model had a significant effect on improving smash ability in volleyball.]]>
