When it comes to children's sport, it is important to select these athletes in competitions, so that everyone
has the opportunity to compete according to their level of development and abilities. The objective of this
study was to analyse the selection process used by the coaches. The sample used was 30 volleyball coaches
(21 men and 9 women), aged between 21 and 62 years (39.23 ± 10.57). In order to collect information on
the selection criteria used, the study was adapted from Cardoso, (2007). The study project was approved by
the scientific committee of the Department of Physical Education and Sport and ethics committee of the State
University of Amazonas. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to analyse the data and the mean and
standard deviation statistics were used. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used and the Chi-square test for
qualitative variables and Spearman correlations were used in quantitative variables. T-Student was used to
determine differences between groups, the Anova of repeated measures to analyse differences in the
relevance attributed by the coaches to the criteria between different levels of training. The results showed
relevant data such as the predominance of observation of physical education classes in children and
youngsters (76.7% and 63.3%, respectively) and the application of tests in the levels of initiates and juveniles
(40% and 50% % respectively). There were no divergences between the selection methods considering the
characteristics of the trainer (p> 0.05)
