An intervention designed to improve volleyball learning outcomes through an engaging methodology was conducted at Ma'arif Wongsorejo Junior High School during the 2024/2025 academic year.The results of this study demonstrated significant improvements in the educational outcomes of students at Ma'arif Wongsorejo Junior High School who participated in the cat-and-cat game methodology.A comprehensive analysis covering three aspects of educational outcomes—psychomotor, affective, and cognitive—initially revealed that among a group of 30 students, 18 students passed while 12 failed, representing a psychomotor achievement rate of 24%, affective at 20.6%, and cognitive at 22.8%. The average score at the beginning of the study was 60%, indicating that 40% of students failed. In cycle I, significant improvements in educational outcomes were recorded, with 24 students passing and 6 failing, resulting in an average score of 80%, with 20% of students failing. The psychomotor, affective, and cognitive achievement rates were 25.1%, 22%, and 25.5%, respectively.In Cycle II, students demonstrated further progress in educational outcomes, with 27 students passing and 3 failing, culminating in psychomotor, affective, and cognitive achievement levels of 27.4%, 25.5%, and 26.4%, respectively, and an average score of 90%, culminating in a 90% pass rate among students, thus concluding the action research without progressing to additional cycles.]]>
