The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effect between verbal instructions and video modelling on underhand volleyball serve among novice volleyball players. Thirty novice volleyball players (N=30) aged between 16 to 17 years old were recruited and randomly assigned into two groups; verbal instructions and video modelling. The results from the acute effects between verbal instructions and video modelling on underhand volleyball serve among novice volleyball players was found significant in pre-test, post-test 1 and post-test 2 for both verbal instructions and video modelling. Significant improvements (p<0.05) were recorded after being exposed to different types of learning aids in the post-test. The results also showed that there was no significant difference reported between both groups of verbal instructions and video modelling. In conclusion, verbal instructions and video modelling are both effective in order to improve the underhand volleyball serve among novice volleyball players.
