This research aimed to identify the effectiveness of role-playing strategies in developing some basic offensive basketball skills (chest pass, high dribble, and layup) among first-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Babylon. The researcher used an experimental design with two equivalent groups (experimental and control) using pre- and post-tests. The research sample consisted of 66 students randomly assigned to two equal groups. The experimental group participated in a role-playing-based training program, while the control group studied using the traditional method. The training program lasted for seven weeks, comprising 14 training units. The research relied on standardized skill tests that were validated for reliability, validity, and objectivity. These tests included chest pass, high dribble, and layup. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS software. The research results showed statistically significant differences between the pre-tests and post-tests, favoring the experimental group in all the skills studied. The experimental group also outperformed the control group in the post-tests, demonstrating the effectiveness of the role-playing strategy in improving skill performance, increasing social interaction, and developing attention and focus during learning. The researcher concluded that the role-playing strategy is an effective teaching method for basketball skills, as it provides an interactive learning environment that simulates real-life game situations and takes into account the individual differences among students. The research recommends adopting this strategy in physical education curricula and conducting similar studies on other sports and different age groups.
