Abstract
Introduction: The objective was to analyze the effect of a reduction of the netheight and the court size and serve limitations on the technical-tactical actions, physical actions, and psychological aspects in youth volleyball players. Methods: The sample was 29 under-14 female volleyball players (three regional club teams). A quasi-experimental design was implemented to assess the efect of modification in three tournaments. The independent variables were: a) official rules tournament (no changes in the rules), b) Experimental Tournament 1 (reduction in the net height from 2.10m to 2m, no jump serves, and a maximum of two serves per player and rotation), and c) Experimental Tournament 2 (reduction in net height from 2.10m to 2m, reduction in court size from 9 × 9m to 8 × 8m, no jump serves, and a maximum of two serves per player and rotation). The dependent variables were: ball contact done (type), quality and effcacy of the technical actions, team game phases occurrence, quality and efficacy, continuity index, number of jumps, player’s jump load in the take-off and landing, number of hits, average heart rate, Rate of Perceived Effort, time between ball contacts, serve velocity, perceived individual and collective self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment, and perceived satisfaction. Results: Experimental Tournament 1 involved an increase in the efficacy of serves and a decrease in the efficacy of side-out phases. The imbalance between serve and reception did not impact game continuity but reduced the attack and
blocks. Experimental Tournament 2 involved a decrease in the efficacy of serves and an increase in the efficacy of side-out phases. The balance between serve and reception increased reception efficacy, the occurrence of attacks and blocks, game continuity, and players’ effort. players’ effort.
Discussion: Scaling the net and court and adapting the serve rules (Experimental Tournament 2) resulted in game dynamics for these U-12 teams that were more similar to those of posterior stages of player through the balance between serve and reception and the adaptation of the net height and court size.
