The number of subjects in Group - A (9 years) was 20, in Group - B (10 years) was 22 and in Group - C (11 years) was 18. The purpose of the study was to analyse and compare the age wise differences, in selected anthropometric and body composition among 9 years, 10 years and 11 years boys athletes.. It appears that the 11 years old boys had significantly higher body weight than 9 years and 10 years respectively. So, far height is concerned, no significant difference was found between 9 years and 10 years of district champion boys’ athlete.
