Physical education learning in elementary schools requires an innovative and enjoyable approach to increase students’ affective engagement during the learning process. Net Games learning, particularly pickleball-based activities, has the potential to create active, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences for students. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the pickleball-based Net Games learning model on the affective responses of fifth-grade elementary school students. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group post-test only design involving 50 fifth-grade elementary school students. The research instrument was an Affective response questionnaire consisting of five indicators: joyful expression, learning satisfaction, voluntary participation, enjoyment, and willingness to repeat learning activities. Instrument validity was evaluated through expert judgment, while reliability testing using Cronbach’s Alpha showed a coefficient of 0.89, indicating high reliability. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the One-Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The findings revealed that students’ affective responses were categorised as effective to very effective, with an overall mean score of 3.44. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant result (p < 0.05), indicating that the Net Games learning model effectively improved students’ affective responses. Students demonstrated positive emotional engagement, active participation, and strong motivation to repeat the learning activities. The pickleball-based Net Games learning model was effective in enhancing elementary school students’ affective responses in physical education learning through enjoyable, active, and interactive learning experiences.
