A descriptive quantitative survey design was used. The sample consisted of 50 students selected through proportional random sampling from 215 Grade VIII students. The instrument was a closed-ended multiple-choice test covering indicators of mentioning, translating, integrating information, explaining basic movements, and explaining volleyball rules and facilities. Data were analyzed using percentages, means, standard deviations, and categories. The results showed that students’ understanding was generally in the moderate category.
