The sample included 20 male active handball players from four handball junior teams. They compete in irregular competition in Handball Federation, Kosovo, divided into 4 subsamples: fi ve players were from H.C. “Trepca” - Mitrovica, fi ve players were from H.C. “Kastrioti” - Ferizaj, fi ve players were from H.C. “Bashkim Idrizi” - Gjakova, and fi ve players were from H.C. “Prishtina” - Prishtina. Anthropometric characteristics were evaluated by a battery of fi ve variables: body weight, body height, length of arms, length of hands and breadth of hand. The data were analyzed by a statistical package, they are processed in the SPPS program, version 20.0 for Windows. Scientifi c research is done in the composition of the anthropometric space. The standard central and dispersive parameters are calculated for all variables. The signifi cance of the diff erences between the group was determined by a t-test for independent samples, at the signifi cance level of p<0.05. Based on the results of this study, a signifi cant diff erence was confi rmed between anthropometric variables between most groups. These facts show that there are diff erences from the fi rst-place team to the fourth place team in the Kosovo junior championship.
