<![CDATA[Background Agility is an important physical component in volleyball because players are required to rapidly change direction, reposition their bodies, and respond to dynamic game situations. However, previous studies have often focused on the relationship between agility and specific technical skills, while evidence concerning its relationship with broader volleyball performance among school-level players remains limited. Objectives This study aimed to examine the relationship between agility and volleyball performance among students participating in volleyball activities at SMK Kesehatan Nusantara, Sorong City. Methods A quantitative correlational design was employed. The study involved 20 students participating in volleyball activities at SMK Kesehatan Nusantara, Sorong City. Agility was assessed using the Zig-zag Run Test, with the best completion time from two trials recorded as the agility measure. Volleyball performance was assessed using an observational instrument covering service, passing, attacking, and blocking. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, a linearity test, and Pearson's product-moment correlation at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results The mean agility score was 10.27 ± 0.18 s, while the mean volleyball performance score was 11.85 ± 2.37. The Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that both variables met the normality assumption, with p = 0.133 for agility and p = 0.237 for volleyball performance. The linearity assumption was also satisfied. Pearson's correlation analysis demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between agility and volleyball performance (r = 0.489, p = 0.029), indicating a moderate association. Conclusion Agility was significantly associated with volleyball performance among the participating school-level players. The moderate magnitude of the association indicates that agility is one of several factors related to volleyball performance. These findings support the inclusion of agility assessment and multidirectional movement training within school-level volleyball development programs. Nevertheless, the correlational design does not establish a causal relationship, and further research with larger samples and sport-specific reactive agility measures is warranted.]]>
