Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of teaching volleyball to college women through the "Fingertip" and "Attack" methods. Effectiveness was considered in terms of the results of competitive play, the number of points scored and the reduction of ball-handling fouls in game situations, and the achievement of earlier, later, and continued success in playing as measured by Clifton's "Single Hit Volley Test for Women's Volleyball." The "Fingertip" method consisted primarily of the commonly recommended fingertip skills while the "Attack" method consisted primarily of the fisting skills recommended by Davis. Thirty-seven college women served as subjects for the study. The study consisted of fourteen class meetings. The subjects were divided into a control and an experimental group and were instructed by the "Fingertip" and "Attack" methods respectively. The groups which were equated according to skill by Pretest scores on the Clifton Test received separate classes of instruction and practice.
