It is not mere the participation or few days of practice that brings an individual victory, but it is the continuous hard work of training right from the childhood, and a strong Anthropometry variables influences the performance. Today’s sports person faces unique challenges. The standards are higher; the competition is tougher, the stakes are greater and the attention overwhelming in these days. Coaches’, physical educationists and sports scientists have always expressed a great need to know more about those Anthropometry variables, which are helpful in improving the motor skill of the players. Today’s world is a world of competition, the rivalry to reach top and excel each other is intense. That every aspect that contributes for the excellence is carefully looked into and one of such aspects is the selection of the right person for the right event in sports and games. Normally the choice of selection is given to a player or the athletes. The players without knowing their inherent potential make wrong choices because of their wrong selection, and hence the individual concerned is not able to reach the top of the ladder (Gangopadhyay, 1993). Man, by nature, is highly competitive and in pursuit of high performance; He/she has always been striving to jump higher and farther, to run faster and to demonstrate greater strength and skill. Physical fitness places emphasis on more and more activity (Uppal, 1992).
