Abstract :Basketball is a sport that combines physical abilities and technical skills. Dribble-shooting is one of the basic skills of this sport, and it is important to have certain physical and motor characteristics to perform it successfully. The physical development of 9-10-years-old female basketball players continues rapidly, and physical fitness levels may vary during this period. This study investigated the relationship between selected physical and motoric characteristics of 9-10-years-old female basketball players and their performance in dribble-shooting. Forty female basketball players with a mean age of 9.50±0.51 years participated in the study. After physical measurements, balance, flexibility, speed, hand grip, agility, jumping, ball throwing, and dribble-shooting performance tests were performed. No statistically significant correlation was found between the physical and performance parameters of the participants and dribble-shooting values. No correlation was found between selected physical and motor characteristics such as age, height, body weight, flexibility, jumping, hand grip, ball throwing, agility, 20-meter sprint, balance, and arm length, with the dribble-shooting performance of 9-year-old female basketball players.
