Summary/Abstract: In Hungary considerable education-policy changes have been implemented concerning school PE since everyday PE lessons were introduced the neccessity and topicality of which is unquestionable. In this process Handball in School program was also introduced the ability developing role of which was examined by us. A survey programme was organised by us in the autumn and spring semesters of 2015/ 2016 academic year aiming to prove that project Handball at School proved to be positive on aiming accuracy and performance stability results of students, as well as their precision of technical implemetation. 183 students were examined (2-4 grades) who had two sponge-handball lessons a week out of their 5 PE lessons. To examine aiming accuracy two tests were applied. One of them implied throwing at a target from throwing straddle without previous swing performed by the students by age-specific sponge-handball from distances corresponding their age. The other test for checking aiming accuracy was throwing at a target from throwing straddle with previous swing. At this test also surety, performance time and precision of technical implementation of upper shot were noted. It can be stated that aiming accuracy, its technical implementation and time needed for the implementation developed at both boys and girls compared to the autumn measurement when checked at spring (the difference was significant). The programme made bigger impetus on the results of the girls.
