The researcher used a descriptive approach, test was administered to a sample of 20 junior players from Al-Taawon Sports Club, representing a single group, test included four main criteria: ability to block shots, ball possession, anticipation and response, and defensive positioning. A specific scoring system was used to classify performance into excellent, good, average, and weak defense. The test was designed to allow for an objective and scientific evaluation of players, enabling coaches to identify each player's strengths and weaknesses, thus contributing to systematic and organized improvement of defensive performance. Results showed that test is a practical and effective tool for developing players' defensive skills and motor abilities, enhancing their ability to participate effectively in matches and training. It can also be used to plan future training sessions according to individual needs of each player, contributing to raising overall level of team. The findings indicate that the majority of players fall into the “very good” and “good” performance categories, with the highest average score achieved in the areas of blocking and defensive positioning (4.0), while the area of anticipation and response had the lowest average score (3.8).]]>
