was selected as the dependent variable. Performance score was obtained through a subject rating in
playing ability for each player by a panel of three experts, who evaluated and rated each player on a
scale of 5 broad areas of passing, serving, setting, blocking, and attacking. The combined score of each
player in five areas served as the final score of his overall playing ability in volleyball. In order to
achieve greater consistency and objectivity in the judges' ratings, a detailed break up skills and areas of
competency along with detailed explanation of as to how scores are to be awarded, was provided to the
judges. Reliability of tests was established by test retest method. All the subjects were explained the
purpose of the investigation and testing procedure. Inter-correlations and multiple R were computed by
using Product Moment correlation in order to determine the cumulative effect of selected variables with
the dependent variable of playing ability. Regressions equations was computed to determine, which
combination of variables would predict the volleyball performance in the most reliable and valid
manner.
