Fusion of Basketball and Volleyball Game in Developing a Recreational Game

This study aimed to fuse two sports as a basis in creating a recreational game which will be a supplementary activity for in-class and out-of-class physical education sessions. It utilized the fundamental skills of basketball and volleyball skills which focused on enhancing skills such as passing, receiving, setting, bounce passes, chest passes, and overhead passes. A qualitative descriptive methodology, incorporating content analysis and the Successive Approximation Model (SAM), was employed to assess the game's efficacy and feasibility. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and expert validation sessions, involving selected Junior High School participants from Iligan City National School of Fisheries. Findings demonstrated that the recreational game effectively improved players' basketball and volleyball skills, particularly chest and bounce passing, though proficiency in digging skills was slightly lower. Overall, the results highlight of the newly created recreational game as a promising tool for skill development in basketball, volleyball, and similar activities.
