The selected players were divided into two equal groups consists of 15 handball players each namely experimental group and control group. The experimental group underwent a specific training programme for eight weeks. The control group was not taking part in any training during the course of the study. Agility was assessed by T test. Pre–test was taken before the training period and post– test was measured immediately after the eight weeks training period. Statistical technique ‘t’ ratio was used to analyze the means of the pre–test and post test data of experimental group and control group. The results revealed that there was a significant difference found on the criterion variables. The difference found is due to specific training given to the experimental group on Agility when compared to control group.
