The objective of the study was to correlation between playing ability and anthropometrical variables among college level volleyball players. Method:- The subjects of the study were 120 intercollegiate volleyball players were selected from different University (Choudhary Charan Singh University, Meerut and Maa Shakumbhari University, Saharanpur) in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The age level of subjects ranged from 18 to 25 years. Before the administration of tests the scholar personally met the team managers of concerned teams and took permission to collect data from their respective teams. After taking permission the scholar visited all the team member and elaborated each test items for anthropometrical variables (thigh girth, calf girth, arm girth relaxed, arm girth flexed & weight). All the subjects were tested after their matches. Three fully qualified experts assessed the players’ playing ability during the matches they played. Statistical Techniques:- To find out significant different correlation between playing ability and anthropometrical variables among college level volleyball players, Product moment correlation was computed. Level of significance was set at 0.05 to check for significance. Results and Discussion:- The results revealed that there were significant (p>.05) differences in correlation between playing ability and thigh girth, calf girth, arm girth relaxed, arm girth flexed & weight among college level volleyball players.
