The purpose of this study was to determine the differences between results of motor ability tests between football players of different positions. Twenty-two first-league football players participated in this study. Variables of 20 m sprint, long jump and different measures of vertical jumps on the Optojump platform were measured. Pearson s correlation coefficient showed the greatest correlation between variables Height CMJ and T flight CMJ (r= 0,91); Height SJ and Height CMJ (r= 0,92); Height SJ and T flight CMJ (r= 0,91 and; Height DJ and T flight DJ (r=1). Significant differences between players of different positions occurred in these variables: sprint 20m and T flight CMJ. Differences also occurred between wingers and strikers in variables Height CMJ and T flight CMJ. For further research it is necessary to expand the sample with players from different clubs.
