In this study, junior high school girls, 74 first and 88 second grade, inexperienced at volleyball course were used, and they were divided in two groups, respectively. One(abbr. group P) was given a course of learning volleyball through the 'Task-games' composed in a defensive skill, and the other (abbr. group K) given a course of learning volleyball through the 'Task-games' composed in a offensive skill. After 21 lessons, group-related differences were indiscernible in improvements in learning individual (i. e. overhand and underhand pass) and group skills (i. e. positioning) for volleyball. In group P, however, an improvement in the mental image of volleyball and development of human relations were considerably noted, and then these contributed to increase of the attitude scores measured by Kobayashi Physical Education Inventory, compared with in group K. The present results suggested that a learning volleyball through the 'Task-games' composed in a defensive skill might be appropriate for female beginners in P. E. classes at junior high school.
