Abstract: The aim of this preliminary research was the evaluation of a two-month program for improvement of the single forward feint to the left with passage to the right, and single forward feint to the right with passage to the left by “shifting” the opponent’s hand. Six-teen young male handball players aged 9.64 ± 0.87 years participated in this study. The program was implemented over two months, during which 18 training sessions (35%) were conducted for the improvement of feint skills, from 52 training sessions overall. An initial video recording was made at the beginning of the period, and a final one at the end. Videos were analyzed by three experts, using a grading list and detailed grad-ing criteria. The basic parameters of descriptive statistics were determined for both variables. The metric characteristics of the expert estimation contribution were ana-lyzed through measures of reliability (Cronbach’s α) and homogeneity (average item inter-correlation). The non-parametric (Wilcoxon t-test) method was used to analyze changes in the levels of feint performance at different times. The results indicate satis-factory reliability and homogeneity of the tests (α1=0.90; r1=0.80; α2 =0.86; r2=0.87). Through insight into the results, a significant difference was spotted between the initial and final states of both motor skills acquisitions (T1 = 114.5, p= 0.01; T2 =7.00; p= 0.01). The limiting factors of the study may be the sample size, as well as the absence of a control group and of a validated evaluation of the instrument
