Sažetak
The paper aims to establish metric characteristics of the test of coordination and precision “Ball – leg – wall” on a sample of female students in the early childhood and preschool education program of study. The sample consisted of 25 female students in the first and second year of the Faculty of Teacher Education – Petrinja branch. Along with the descriptive statistics, the normality of distribution was tested, as well as reliability coefficients and average correlation between items. A factor structure was checked through a component analysis. The results obtained indicate satisfactory values in coefficients of reliability. The isolated factor “covers” 72.19% of the total value of the matrix of item correlation and indicates an existence of a common subject of measurement – in this case coordination and precision skill. Although the test is intended for use in the 6-11 age period for checking the ability of students at the Universal Sports School, its application with older participants showed good metric characteristics and possibility for application in practice with this group of participants. Considering the relatively small number of participants in the research, further testing of its metric characteristics on a larger sample is recommended.
