Agility is an important motor fitness component. It increases with age from childhood for both boys and girls. Purpose of the present study was to analyze and understand the change in agility from nine to ten and ten to eleven years of girls. For this study a total of 30 girls were randomly selected for each of three age groups - 9 years, 10 years and 11 years. For assessing agility, 4x10Y Shuttle run test was administered as per procedure laid down in the AAHPERD Youth Fitness Test Battery Manual. Mean and standard deviation of performance in the test of agility were calculated as the measure of central tendency and variability respectively. Difference between means was tested using‘t’ test.  Results indicated that agility increase with increase of age from nine to ten and ten to eleven years for girl groups, the increase was neither significant for nine to ten years nor from ten to eleven years for girls.
