The research aims to determine the factorial construction of some measurements of the physical abilities of football youths in the academies of medina.

the descriptive approach was used for its suitability to the nature of the research.

the study sample was chosen by the random method of some academies of medina football, whose number is (130 youths).

the tests adopted by the researcher were applied, consisting of (18) tests that measure (12) physical elements (strength, strength characterized by speed, flexibility, agility, speed, reaction speed, compatibility, accuracy, balance, neuromuscular compatibility, muscular endurance, periodic respiratory endurance).

the data were processed statistically, where the research results indicated the acceptance of (8) basic factors in the measurements of the physical abilities of football juniors, and they can be used as an indicator for selecting football juniors, which are as follows : (compatibility : numbered circles test, periodic respiratory endurance : cooper test, muscular strength : muscles strength test which stretch the back and legs, agility : zigzag running test, running reaction speed with change of direction, muscular endurance, balance : standing and stability test on the box, accuracy : throwing the ball into overlapping squares test).

the researcher recommended the adoption of these measurements in the process of selecting football juniors in an objective manner, due to the specificity of these criteria in the local community.

also, the researcher recommended the use of tests as determinants for the selection of football juniors, in addition to knowing the extent of the development of physical fitness among the youth, and the need to pay attention to conducting more research aimed at building factors in other aspects, to be a function of selecting football juniors applying to academies and developing a program that improves their weaknesses.
