The purpose of this research is to determine the dimension of anxiety before competition at young female handball players, which are categorized in girls’ category at the time of transition to younger cadets of the age of 14 before the match of minor importance witch are easy matches and games of great significance witch are heavy matches. The sample consists of 32 respondents who filled out two questionnaires, one immediately before the toughest match, and one just before the easiest match. For each dimension of the questionnaire, Cormac-Alpha reliability parameters and mean interrelated correlations were calculated, the variables describing the sample and the psychological variables were processed by descriptive statistics. The distribution normality was tested by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the differences between the groups were tested with the One-way ANOVA test. The research has shown that female handball players cadet-sized are more somatic and cognitively anxious before important matches than before minor, lightweight matches. To assume it would be that players less important games would have greater confidence but, although the difference is apparent, it is not statistically significant. Based on the results, it is clear that the importance of the match strongly influences the psychological profile of athletes, in this case the female handball players. Before important games it is good that the players are not indifferent or lethargic but under positive tension. It is necessary to find the right optimal measure that should ensure that the players are not under great pressure, stress or fear of the opponent that so this fear would not negatively affect their game. On the other hand, the state of elevated cognitive anxiety is proportional to the dimension of selfconfidence, and the assumption is that the players will have greater self-confidence if cognitive anxiety is reduced.
