Introduction: Pre-sport games require skills and abilities specific to each sport, being a didactic resource from physical education with direct and indirect implications in the initiation sport development. Objective: implement a didactic strategy with pre-sport games to improve the attack technical performance in the school volleyball of the Colegio Cardenal de la Torre. Methods: A non-probabilistic intentional sampling is applied, studying 60 students from the Cardenal de la Torre School in the Quito city (both sexes), evaluating the volleyball attack technique in two moments of the teaching-educational process, before and after implement a didactic strategy with pre-sport games. Results: In the first evaluation, a mean score average of 5.93 was achieved, and in the second evaluation, a mean score average of 9.40 was reached, being significantly different (p = 0.000), with 52 positive differences, 2 negative differences and 6 draws, showing that the majority of the students studied (86.67%) improved their learning of the attack technique directly or indirectly. Conclusions: In the case of beginner students with no previous experience in volleyball, the pre-sport games implemented in this research significantly improved indirect learning of the volleyball player attack technique.
