SPATIAL ORIENTATION AS A WAY TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TECHNIQUE OF RECEIVING THE BALL FROM ABOVE IN STUDENTS AGED 12—15

There are many technical techniques in volleyball, among which special attention is paid to receiving the ball from above with two hands. The quality of this technique directly affects the subsequent pass of the ball to the attacker and, as a result, the outcome of a specific game moment or the entire match. Therefore, improving the effectiveness of this technique is one of the key tasks. Volleyball is a team sport in which the success of the team largely depends on the skill of each player. One of the main things that influence the outcome of the game is receiving the ball from above. This requires a very high level of precision, coordination and quick response to changes in the course of the game from the player. Therefore, a key part of the training is improving the technique of receiving the ball from above. The purpose of this study is to explore the methods of improving the reception of the ball from above in volleyball through spatial orientation in students aged 12—15 years. To achieve these goals, we used several methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature on volleyball technique, conducting a pedagogical experiment, processing the obtained data using mathematical statistics. The study involved 40 students aged 12 to 15 years. Based on the study, in the group using new special exercises to improve spatial orientation, we can talk about a noticeable positive dynamics of the technical and tactical indicators of stu-dents. Exercises to improve spatial orientation allowed us to raise the level of the technique of receiving the ball from above, which was reflected in the increase in the level of the initial and final indicators of the technique of performing the overhead pass among students. In general, this confirms the effectiveness of introducing spatial orientation into the educational and training process of students.
