Handball as a sport is part of the curriculum of the colleges and departments of Physical Education, and it involves both defensive and offensive skills. When rating the students' performance of skills, most teachers depend on their personal estimation and experiences, lacking the scientific basics that portray the real development or decrease of the students' level. This leads to some sense of subjectivity in the rating of their performances. Therefore, the researchers aimed to do such a study in order to shed light on the semaphore students' real performance of certain essential skills in handball, as well as setting the standard levels and degrees, and identifying its weaknesses or flaws and create the suitable solution to solve them.
