Purpose
This study aims to:

1. Identify the correlation between selected motor abilities and high jump performance among junior athletes.
2. Determine the most critical motor abilities associated with high jump effectiveness.

Hypothesis
It is hypothesized that there is a statistically significant correlation between agility, coordination abilities, and high jump performance among junior athletes.

Methodology
The descriptive method with a correlational approach was used to address the research problem. The study was conducted on junior high jumpers at the Hillah Youth Forum in Babil Governorate. The population comprised 18 athletes, with a sample of 14 juniors selected for the study. Two athletes were excluded due to absence from the main experiment.
