Driving quality – speed – is and must be present in the “motor baggage” of each basketball player, given the evolution of basketball into a dynamic game, where the technical execution of players and the expert interest in honing these driving qualities excel. Improving the quality of the driving speed among junior players will allow the acquisition and strengthening of technical and tactical actions, the signs of high speed, which will all be beneficial for the young basketball players’ path to a senior career and high performance. The interpretation of the results was performed using the graphic method in order to capture the differences between the indicator values calculated for teams and players who play fullback positions, extreme pivots, as compared to the reference value for this age group - 3.9sec, considered as a performance for basketball players that allows adequate expression of tactical and technical knowledge as well as the achievement of optimum performance.
