The purpose of this paper is to analyze the content of the elements of volleyball in primary education and compare the content of volleyball in the Curriculum for primary school in the Republic of Croatia (2006) and the Curriculum of the subject physical education and health (2019). A hypothesis about the history of volleyball and its effects on health is presented. The contents of volleyball have a great influence on the development of educational, upbringing and anthropological characteristics of children (motor, morphological and functional). All components can be fulfilled through the elements of volleyball. The paper explains volleyball techniques as the foundation of volleyball as a sport. The goals and topics of the elements of volleyball in primary education are stated. In teaching, certain elements are applied before learning the techniques themselves. Techniques of jumping, throwing, catching and shooting and rolling before the first volleyball content are covered. According to the research, the representation of the content of games in the Curriculum has a large share in relation to other teaching contents of physical education and health, and they are more represented in the subject than in the classroom. By comparing the content of volleyball in the Curriculum for primary school in the Republic of Croatia (2006) and the Curriculum of the subject physical and health culture (2019), we can conclude that there are no major deviations. The goals of physical and health culture emphasize the development of health, psychosomatic characteristics, positive attitude and habits of physical exercise. Students from 1st to 3rd grade acquire natural movements and basic motor skills that are needed to learn volleyball techniques in the future, and in 4th grade they improve the first volleyball technique, which is the technique of overhand pass.
