The purpose of the study was to compare the agility among different group of secondary school boys and to find out the relationship between the performances in 4 X 10 m. Shuttle Run and Zigzag Run. 72 male students were selected at random from different classes of Jadupur Anchal High School, Malda, West Bengal for this study. Twelve students were selected at random from each class. The age of the subjects were ranging between 10-16 years. Shuttle Run and Zig-Zag Run tests were administered for this study. Mean, Standard Deviation (SD), Analysis of variance (ANOVA), Coefficient of correlation (r) were used as required statistical tools for this study. 0.05 and 0.01 levels of significance were used for this study. The study conclude: 1. There was significant difference of agility exists among different classes subjects. 2. Agility of the subjects was increased with increase of age. 3. Subjects of Class X were more agile than subjects of other class. 4. There was a high positive correlation between Shuttle Run and Zigzag Run of V, VI, VIII and IX class group.
