Sumario:  Introduction: In the volleyball practice the sports performance of athletes depends on multiple factors such as explosive force, agility and power. Objective: to evaluate such capacities and the anthropometric variables of athletes from a regional female volleyball team from the interior of Minas Gerais - Brazil. Methods: The study was conducted with nine female athletes from an adult amateur volleyball team from the city of Itabirito - MG. The athletes were submitted to anthropometric explosive strength of lower limbs and agility evaluation. Results: The mean values found for body mass were 68.1 kg, 175.1 cm for height and 15.9 for body fat percentage. The mean values presented for the vertical jump were classified as excellent for the distance achieved (47.67 ± 6.8 cm), according to the classification for healthy women and for athletes. For the agility test (18.63 ± 1.4 sec), the values found were classified as below the average for athletes. Conclusion: Based on these results, we can conclude that amateur volleyball athletes from the city of Itabirito-MG presented anthropometric characteristics and lower limb explosive strength levels similar to those of professional volleyball athletes.
