Objective of the study was to develop a set of dexterity test criteria for junior (17-18 year-olds`) women`s team sports. Methods and structure of the study. The dexterity test system for competitive and training process was tested on a sample of 17-18 year-old female students of Saint Petersburg Mining University and their peers from Lesgaft National State University of Physical Culture, Sport and Health. Results and discussion. The dexterity test data analysis versus the test benchmarks showed the sprint and standing long jump test data of the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Culture, Sport and Health sample being higher than the benchmarks, i.e. the age averages; and the straight walk test data matching the average. Our analysis of the test data arrays showed that the physical fitness test benchmarks found in stage one of the study may be applied for the 17-18 year-old team sporting women`s dexterity test purposes on an individual and group basis. We recommend using the test benchmarks found by the study for the skills-specific dexterity rating tests in this age group.
