        abstract = {The assessment of skills is essential for talent identification and performance monitoring in handball. This study examined test-retest reliability and interrater objectivity of nine skill assessments in female handball players using Pearson product-moment correlation. Twenty female handball players (age range 18–24 years) completed nine skill tests including defensive movement (D' test), wall passes, ground pass, dribbling, and four throwing assessments on two separate occasions rated by two independent raters. Test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from r = .76 to r = .93, demonstrating moderate to high reliability across all assessments. Interrater objectivity coefficients ranged from r = .74 to r = .88, indicating acceptable to high consistency between raters. The 22-meter Ground Pass (r = .93) and 10-meter Wall Pass (r = .91) demonstrated superior reliability, while Face Shooting exhibited the lowest reliability (r = .76). Results support the implementation of these assessments for performance evaluation in female handball players.},
