The detection of a possible sports talent constitutes one of the fundamental premises of any sports system. This work aimed at establishing normative parameters for sports selection according to the characteristics of the population and with easily accessible measuring instruments, which allows the best sports prospects to be selected at the beginning of each season. The methods applied are the historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, documentary analysis were used as the main research methods and techniques. A survey was applied to 135 coaches to determine the test and statisticians. This research establishes a proposal for a sports selection test based on the study of an age group of 1729 boys and girls from 9 to 12 years old, whose final result is the structuring of a selection test with its respective evaluation scale, based on studies by leading authors, which allows the standard for children to enter sports initiation schools in an ideal way. In this study there are several alternatives to identify aspects to consider in a control test for the evaluation and selection of sports talents, in addition to a critical analysis and after applying the selected techniques and instruments, this test is feasible, based on the results achieved.
