The purpose of this study was to determine the factors predominant to playing ability of volleyball players. To achieve this purpose, the investigator selected thirty male south zone inter-university level volleyball players as subjects. The age of the selected subjects was from eighteen to twenty three years. In this study one criterion (volleyball playing ability) and thirteen determinant variables (anthropometric measurements, motor fitness components and game skill performances) are included. Pearson product moment correlation was utilized to verify the association between criterion (volleyball playing ability) and determinant variables. The relationship between criterion and determinant variables as well as inter-correlations among determinant variables was calculated by using Pearson product-moment correlation formula. The computation of multiple regressions was also used. Multiple regressions analysis was used to find out the predictor variable that has the highest correlation with the criterion variables and it is entered into the equation first. The rest of the variables are entered into the equation depending on the contribution of each predictor. To test the hypothesis 0.05 level of significance was fixed. Among the selected determinant variables height, weight, leg length, thigh girth, explosive power and speed of the volleyball players were highly correlated with volleyball playing ability. The regression equation for the volleyball playing ability includes explosive power, height, speed and volleying ability.
