The study aimed to identify the most important anthropometric measurements and bio-kinetic abilities in the players’ smashing and blocking skills and the direct and indirect causal relationships as an indication of the classification and selection of the Middle Blocker player in volleyball, and to build a model of the causal relationships of the most important anthropometric measurements and bio-kinetic abilities in the players’ crushing and blocking skills as an indication of the classification and selection of Middle Blocker players in volleyball. In light of these objectives, the researcher assumed that there is a statistically significant correlation between the most important anthropometric measurements and biomotor abilities with the skills of hitting and blocking for Middle Blocker players in volleyball, and developed causal models for the direct and indirect relationships between the most important anthropometric measurements and biomotor abilities with skill in volleyball. The researcher used the descriptive approach using the correlational method. The research sample included Premier League volleyball players. The researcher concluded that anthropometric measurements play a major role in determining the player’s ability to hit different types of smashes, especially (total length, arm length, upper arm length, and palm length), and the validity of causal models for path analysis in explaining the precedence of variables in terms of them being independent, intermediate, and dependent. The study recommended classifying and selecting the Middle Blocker player according to physical (anthropometric) measurements based on total body length, arm length, palm length, and upper arm length, and the necessity of adopting models and causal relationships in the process of selecting and classifying the Middle Blocker player as an indication of the most important anthropometric measurements and skill abilities to perform some skills.
