Abstract

The aim of the research was to identify the relationship between some mental abilities and their relationship to the accuracy of the performance of the skill of defending the field among volleyball juniors. The researcher used the descriptive approach using the correlational method. As for the research community, it represents a selected group of players from Maysan Governorate's volleyball team for juniors for the (2023) Football League, as the study sample included (42) players. The researcher concluded that there is a significant correlation between some mental abilities (focusing attention and perception) and the accuracy of the performance of the skill of defending the field among junior volleyball players. Accordingly, it was recommended to emphasize the importance of developing some mental abilities (focusing attention and perception) by using special exercises that contribute to the speed of response and reaction of the player in performing the skill of defending the field in volleyball for juniors
