Developing Spatial Orientation at Young Volleyball Players

Abstract

Modern volleyball game needs to develop new skills; those new abilities are spatial orientation and balance skills. Our research focused on discovering and testing balance and spatial orientation skills of 25 volleyball players from ACS Alpha Sports Team Sibiu, aged 10.22 ± 2.49 years. Two tests were used as research methods with initial and final evaluation, the Matorin test and the spatial orientation test. The results showed improved results from the initial to the final tests in both tests; significant differences were found in comparing right and left direction jumps. Conclusions highlighted the importance of developing spatial orientation in young volleyball players.

These same children were also more likely to help one another complete exercises if one was struggling (Sopa, 2014). It is clear that sports and physical activity are great socializers for children and even lead to children creating better relationships and habits for themselves.…”

The Socialization of Primary School Pupils through Motor Games

“…Even though they are a secondary socializing group, the effectiveness of the collective in forming relationships is very high.
