This research aimed to determine the physical fitness and skill performance variables that could offer coaches useful data when choosing young team handball players of outstanding ability. 16 elite players from the Faisalabad Handball Training Club, ages 18 to 22, were chosen for this study in 2023. Physical fitness tests (30-meter sprint, Illinois agility, vertical jump, push-ups, sit-and-reach tests), as well as skill performance testing (slalom dribbling and shooting accuracy test), were included in the battery. Test-retest reliability established the study tool's reliability, whereas descriptive statistics measured the mean ± standard deviation between groups. The test-retest methodology is used to assess the reliability of research instruments. All variables have intraclass correlations ranging from 0.699 to 0.970. This is the first study into the physical fitness variables and skill performance analysis of Pakistani elite male handball players. It was confirmed that the test procedure had high reliability and accurately reflected the performance of the participants. This will provide future researchers with a way to accurately measure. It is recommended that future research examine the importance of tests that measure specific skills and physical abilities.
