description Abstract  The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric, sprint and agility performance in soccer players. Descriptive cross-sectional study was employed on purposely selected 25 male soccer players (13) from Sidama Coffee (12) from Hawassa Town soccer clubs in southern part of Ethiopian premier league male soccer players. To serve this purpose basic anthropometric (Body mass, height, body mass index) and  girths (upper arm, waist, thigh and calf circumference) were included.  Additionally 30 meter speed test and Illinois agility test were measured on each subject. The obtained  quantitative data was analyzed by One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to examine the difference in performance between playing position and Pearson  correlation  (p lt;0.05, 0.01) was used to see the relationship between all measured variable with the  help of SPSS version 20.00 software. The result of the study revealed that strikers were the heaviest and tallest in contrasts with defenders and midfielders. They also had the largest upper arm, waist, thigh and calf circumference. But these differences were not statistically significant. Body mass was significantly correlated in body mass index(r=.676) in midfielder and (r=.947) in striker playing position. Arm circumference was significantly correlated with waist (r=.642) and thigh circumference (r=.840) in midfield positional players. Similarly in striker position arm circumference was highly correlated with thigh circumference (r=.911). There are no significant correlation with positional differences in speed performance with basic and girth anthropometric variable except arm circumference (r=-.666) in midfielder position. Similarly agility was negatively correlated with all measured anthropometric variable in all playing position and statically no significant difference were observed. Key words:  Girth anthropometric, speed performance, agility performance
