The purposes of this study were to: (1) compare basketball skill test performance in females when using a regular basketball and a smaller, lighter basketball; and, (2) investigate the relationships between selected anthropometric and upper body strength measurements and skill test performances. Subjects were sixty-nine (69) female high school and college varsity basketball team members (age M 18.1 years). Skill performance was measured by an 8-item skill test from the AAHPER Basketball Skill Test Manual for Girls (1966). Anthropometric and upper body strength measurements taken were age, height, weight, arm span, hand size, grip strength, and push-ups (modified). Data were analyzed using correlated samples t-tests and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results showed that all subjects performed significantly better with the smaller basketball on all eight skill test items (p < .01). The primary anthropometric factors significantly affecting performance with both basketballs were weight, hand size, arm span, grip strength, and push-ups. Results demonstrated that those subjects who were heavier, had larger hands, longer arms, and greater upper body strength, performed better with both basketballs, but performed significantly better with the smaller basketball. An attitude questionnaire revealed that the players and coaches felt the smaller ball had a positive effect on skill performance. Eighty-five percent felt the smaller ball would improve performance at the college level while 90% felt it would improve performance at the high school and junior high school levels.
