INTRODUCTION: Balance is very important and it is said to be an integral part of all movements. Physical therapist has historically placed high priority on the treatment of the patients with postural control problems. With regards to unipedal and tandem stance in children of 6–12–year school going children, there seems to be lack of literature with regards to reference values.  

METHODS: There were eight school were selected from Vadodara city. Total 10 students were selected from each class randomly; the anthropometric measurements of the students were taken. Each participant then completed timed unipedal balance test on both right and left foot, and tandem stance on child’s dominant leg. For two balance test, each subject completed 3 trials on each leg. A 60 second rest was given between trials set to avoid fatigue.

RESULT: Range of Unipedal stance (right and left) for 2^nd – 8^th standard was: 9.00 sec – 28.33 sec on the lower side while ranged from 115.33 to 239.00 sec on the higher side. Mean value of tandem stance for 2^nd –5^th standard was: 118.34seconds.Mean value of tandem stance for 6^th – 8^th standard was: 282.28seconds.

CONCLUSION: There is significant difference in mean of tandem stance and unipedial stance (right and left) students from standard 2–8. In unipedal stance the girls outperformed the boys. There was no significant different of dominance on both the static test (tandem and unipedal).
