Psychomotor is an ability requires for the fine movement skills in sports. In sport,   psychomotor plays very crucial role since it determine the effort of players’ response to complex stimuli specifically in the unprecedented situations during the completion. The degree of its influence may be differing based on the nature of sport and nature of positions within the sport.  With this perspective to study its influence in football the present study has been carried out titled “Study on Psychomotor Abilities and Skill Performance Variables of Football Players. To achieve purpose of present study, as samples for players for each position namely defense, midfielder, offensive ten players were selected randomly. Thus the total samples for the present study was thirty.  The selected samples were hailed from various social economic conditions. As variables the psychomotor abilities such as leg eye coordination and depth perception and as skill variables such as dribbling, passing and shooting were selected based on their positions. Using standardized test   samples were tested on depth perception and leg and eye coordination and skill variables. The collected data were tested by one way analysis of variance to test the significance of mean difference if any on the variables among the defensive, mid filed and offensive football players.
