Knowledge of the structure of some anthropological abilities and characteristics of sportsmen as well as their development represent the basic condition for successful management of the process of sports training. The aim of this research is to determine transversal skelet on dimensions of young footballers. The sample of examinees consists of 120 footballers of different age categories from 'Vojvodina' football club, namely: junior pioneers (aged 11-12) - 30 examinees, senior pioneers (aged 13-14) - 30 examinees, cadets (aged 15-16) - 30 examinees and youth (aged 17-18) - 30 examinees. For transversal skeleton dimension, young footballers were measured for shoulder width and pelvic width. The testing of significant differences between footballers of different age categories as well as deviation from expected values were calculated by 't-test' and univariate variance analysis (ANOVA). On the basis of the results obtained, it can be concluded that average results show a general tendency of increase of results of transversal skeleton dimension from younger to older age categories. Variable measures show that youth examinees are most homogenous in the shoulder width and in the pelvic width. Variable measures show that senior pioneers examinees are most heterogenous in the shoulder width whereas junior pioneer examinees are most heterogenous in terms in the pelvic width.
