Abstract

 Handball has special training requirements imposed by the nature of the game because of its defensive and offensive plans that are fast and accurate in implementation to achieve the ideal level of team performance. Moreover,  the preparation of players is an integrated preparation in all aspects as well as continuous follow-up to evaluate basic skills through competitions and avoiding mistakes as well as enhancing plans for players and evaluate them to identify  the extent of the success of the training process as well as  identifying the level of defensive and offensive tactical knowledge of handball players,. Hence, the  research significance lies  in the actual measurement of defensive and offensive tactical knowledge in a precise scientific manner through which the level of the player or team can be identified  based on  the tactical knowledge of handball players as well as identifying  the linear relationship between that knowledge and the most important basic skills that handball players should possess. The research aims to identify the defensive and offensive tactical knowledge and basic skills of handball players by finding the linear correlation and the percentage of contributions of dependent and independent variables used in the research.         

The researchers discussed the research methodology using the descriptive method of  the survey method and correlative studies. The research community and  sample were identified by Handball clubs of Misan Governorate players, represented by  clubs (Misan Nafit, Dijlaa, Amara, Misan, Mejar Alkabeer, Alsukar, Kumit, Qalaat Saleh, Ali Algarby, Almaymoonya, and Alkhalaa), total number (110) advanced players by (10) players for each club and homogeneity was performed for them as well as the scientific foundations and seven tests were approved to investigate  the research problem.         

The most important conclusions were the tests that were identified with the ability to evaluate in the field using direct measurement methods . Significant correlations emerged between defensive and offensive tactical knowledge and basic skills, and this gave strength to these tests in evaluating advanced handball players.
