This study aimed to evaluate the fundamental technical abilities in volleyball among Sports Education students. The study employed a survey design, using test instruments developed by the researchers to assess basic volleyball technique skills. A total of 114 students from the University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Indonesia, enrolled in the first and third semesters of the Sports Education program, participated in the study, including 64 males (mean age 20.58 ± 1.10 years) and 50 females (mean age 20.80 ± 1.23 years). Both male and female participants were in a productive age range (∼20.7 years), had normal BMI (∼22.48 kg/m²), and showed good resting heart rates (∼65.75 bpm), indicating good physical health and fitness suitable for volleyball. The descriptive statistics for basic volleyball skills among the students indicated that the overall performance levels were moderate to high across all measured skills (top passing, bottom passing, service, smash, block). Differences in all basic volleyball skills between male and female students were statistically significant (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the students demonstrated moderate to high proficiency in basic volleyball skills, with males performing better than females across all skills. © 2025 Publication Service of the University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain.
