The purpose of the study is to find the scientific authenticity of newly constructed Kabaddi Defensive skill tests. In this study the samples age is between fourteen to sixteen were participated. Total 08 tests namely Defensive footwork (Corners), Defensive footwork (Covers), Ankle hold, Thigh hold, Waist hold, Front Blocking (Covers), Front Blocking (Corners) and Blocking and Chest drop were administered. With this all sample's playing ability was also measured by 7 experts of Kabaddi game. To find the validity of the test each skill's score was correlated with playing ability score which was provided by the experts. To find the reliability test and retest score were correlated and to find out objectivity inter tester's scores were correlated. For all the statistical calculations Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation was used. Results indicated that all the Kabaddi offensive skill tests found significant correlation with playing ability of players, hence tests are said to be valid. Test and retest scores were also highly and significant correlation with each other hence tests were said to be reliable. Last intertester's scores were also found significantly correlated with each other hence tests were said to be objective. Implication of the results were discussed in the paper.
