dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study was to explore any differences in game performance variables and knowledge among a cohort of high school students who participated in either homogeneous or heterogeneous skill level groups (N¼126) across a 12-lesson mini-volleyball sport education unit of study. This study followed a mixed-methods approach using a quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design. The quantitative variables analyzed were decision making, skill execution, game performance, game involvement, and game knowledge. We also evaluated students’ performance qualitatively, employing two methods: (a) experts’ analysis of students’ game performance, and (b) students’ and teachers’ perceptions of students’ performance. We analyzed quantitative data through a series of paired samples t-tests comparing pre- and post-test scores according to the grouping strategy. Students became more competent in their game play and more knowledgeable in their technique, the sport’s rules, tactical awareness, and general game knowledge. However, grouping students by skill level had no impact on gains in game performance variables	es
