Sports scientific researches and studies are concerned with determining specifications required by each type of different sports activities and conditions that must be met in players to fit in with the type of practitioner activity.Selection based on scientific grounds contribute sports achievement.Handball require special features in each player depending on his play position, handball goalkeeper has special requirements which may not be required in other players, that is to enable him to carry out his duties in variety of situations exposed during the games.Handball is one of sports activities, which reached level of maturity and progress as a result of experts' interest in studying and addressing various problems in scientific methods to upgrade their players and access highest levels.Handball goalkeeper efficiency directly affects the team results.As far as his physical ability high, as well as biological systems' performance level; as far as team results affects; because of his ability to continuity in performance with same starting level throughout the game to end.Handball goalkeeperdue to his distinctive role and effective role -must be distinguished from the rest of the team with some physical, and physical, psychological and physiological criteria as well as the ability to predict the level which can be achieved be him and possibility of continue playing handball with high efficiency as goalkeeper is most important position in the in the team.This research aiming to determine factorial structure of some biological (morphological, and physiological) measurements for handball goalkeepers, study sample included ( 14) handball goalkeepers from nine first grade clubs as follows: "Ahli (2), Zamalek (1), Police Union (2), Nasr City (1), Armed forces (1), Damanhour games (2), Olympic (2), Sporting (2), Smouha (1)" .Results could determine five basic factors in morphological measurements (Abdomen depth, Skinfolds thickness for iliac prominence, Overall height), in physiological measurements (emotional stability) and in physical measurements( speed endurance.)Most important recommendation were that there is necessity to focus on morphological, physiological and physical criteria extracted in this study (Speed endurance, Abdomen depth, Skinfolds thickness for iliac prominence, Overall height and Emotional stability) which could represent scientific base of handball goalkeepers selection, Giving attention to morphological, physiological and physical aspects as an important indicator for players' general physical condition, Selection process based on sound scientific principles, Choosing appropriate anticipated handball goalkeepers, Organizing and directing training programs for handball goalkeepers and upgrading handball sport at national level, developing handball sport at national level.
