Abstract :
Objective: The purpose of the study was to construct various test item for measuring flick ability in field hockey. Method: For the purpose of the study twenty four (24) male hockey players studying in different faculties of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi who have either participated in inter faculty or interuniversity were randomly selected to act as subjects for the present study. The age of the subjects was from 17 to 24 years. The ability to flick the ball was measured in terms of maximum points score by the subject from lifting the ball at different height. The playing ability of the selected male hockey players was assessed by a panel of three experts who were technically qualified in hockey. All the experts were asked to give marks to the subjects from a maximum of fifty points. The obtained data was collected for analysis. The data was analyzed by Pearson’s product moment correlation. The level of significance chosen was 0.05. Result: Correlation Coefficient between playing ability and flick Tests, it is evident that variation 1(b) and 1(c) Test were significantly correlated with playing ability. And variation 1(a) was insignificant. Since, correlation ship values with playing ability that were .289, .512, and .447 for the flick test variation 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) respectively. Variation 1(b), 1(c) values were greater than the tabulated “r” value 0.404 required to be significant.
