The aim of this study was to prepare special educational exercises using fixed and changeable sequential methods and evaluate their impact on improving the accuracy of basic handball skills in players aged 14–15 years. The researchers employed the experimental method. The research sample consisted of 24 players from the specialized handball school in the Karbala governorate, Iraq, aged 14–15 years. These players were randomly selected using the "pumpkin method" and divided equally into two experimental groups: the fixed sequential group (N=12) and the changeable sequential group (N=12). The following tests were used: passing accuracy test, shooting-from-the-jump skill test, and dribbling skill test. The application of both the fixed and changeable sequential exercise methods led to improvements in accuracy in performing basic handball skills (passing, shooting, and dribbling), as results from the pre- and post-tests for both groups showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05). The second experimental group, which practiced special exercises using the changeable sequential method, outperformed the first group, which practiced with the fixed sequential method (p<0.05). Exercises from the changeable sequential method, tailored to the capabilities and levels of learners, can be particularly effective in the early stages of initial preparation. Further studies are needed to explore various modern learning methods to enhance and develop skillful performance in handball.
