Volleyball is played by six players on either side with an intention of grounding the ball on the opponent's court. Even though a team is allowed only six players on the court, it usually has twelve players on its roster. In official competition, each player has a special task to perform on the court. To exhibit askill properly, the players must possess the basic physical fitness with the presence of mind and an understating between the team mates. For this, one should undergo a systematic and scientific physical, physiological and psychological training for the effective performance. Volleyball is the only sport in which a player’s maximum force is typically applied while the body is unsupported (in the air). Some of the acrobatic skills executed artistically attract huge crowds and that is the reason volleyball is one of the most popular team sport in the world. The game is characterized by short, high energy burst and periods of rest. Volleyball has developed into a highly competitive sport which requires a high levelof fitness. The different skills involved in volleyball have their own different physical requirements. Consequently, the players either male or female must work on a wide-ranging programme designed to enhance their strength, muscular endurance, cardiovascular efficiency, flexibility and agility. The minimum requirements of individual techniques demand a certain degrees of physical abilities, example, volleying requires strength of fingers and wrists. Blocking and spiking require the ability to jump high enough to contact the ball, when it is above the net. The game in itself, at a high level of competition requires quick, sudden movementand fast reactions. To do this the player must be tall and must be agile. Main objective of the study was to construct norms on physical fitness test for volleyball players. For this purpose 428 players between the age group 16 – 19 years who had participated in state and national level were randomly selected as subjects. Objectivity and reliability of the 21 test variables were obtained. The limited 15 samples from selected subjects were considered for the administration of tests. The skill test norms were constructed on the basis of the findings of the statistical analysis. The standardized norms were constructed.
