The purpose of the study was to analyze the degree of relationship between volleyball serving ability from selected anthropometric measurements and motor fitness components. It was also designed to find out the combined contribution of the selected variables to volleyball skill performances besides developing the multiple regression equation for predicting volleyball serving ability. Twenty university male volleyball players from Tamilnadu Physical Education and Sports University Chennai, in the age group of eighteen to twenty- three years were selected as participants - for the purpose of the study. The following criterion variable namely Russell Longo Serving Test and the independent variables (standing height, weight, arm length, leg length, chest girth, biceps girth, wrist girth, thigh girth, calves girth, explosive power, agility, flexibility and speed) were considered in the study. In order to study the relationship among die selected variables, Pearson's product moment correlation was computed. Multiple correlations were computed to study the best combination of variable, which highly predicts the criterion variable. The results showed significant relationship of Russell Lange Serving Test performance with agility and leg length, The obtained R2 value of 0.898 indicates that weight, flexibility and leg length are having 68% common variance with Russell Lange Serving Test. Out of thirteen independent variables, three of them were selected to derive the stepwise method of multiple regression equation..
