The research was conducted in order to determine the difference in some morphological characteristics, motor and specific motor skills between volleyball players of the Super League A and Super League B of Kosovo. The population from which the sample of the test subjects was taken was defined as the population of volleyball players of the Super League A and Super League B of Kosovo. The sample included 80 volleyball players. The sample included 40 senior volleyball players of the Super League A of Kosovo in volleyball for men and 40 senior volleyball players of the Super League B of Kosovo in volleyball for men: For the realization of this work, 10 (ten) anthropometric variables, 12 (twelve) basic motor variables and 4 (four) specific motor variables (technical) were applied. To confirm the difference in some morphological characteristics, motor skills and specific motor skills between volleyball players of the Super League A and Super League B of Kosovo, a t-test for independent groups was applied. Between volleyball players of the Super League A and Super League B of Kosovo, statistically significant differences in anthropometric variables were obtained in body height, arm and thigh circumference in favor of volleyball players of the Super League A. In basic motor skills that aimed to measure running speed, measuring explosive strength-jumping type, measuring explosive strength-throwing type, and measuring agility in favor of volleyball players of the Super League A, and specific motor skills in favor of volleyball players of the Super League A.
