Shoulder injuries are usual in volleyball players. Nowadays, few prospective studies assessed risk factors of shoulder injuries in this sport. So, the objective of this study is to assess the risk factors of injuries in youth volleyball players. For that purpose, the following factors will be taken into consideration : shoulder internal/external rotators strength, shoulder range of motion, scapular dyskinesis, functional tests (medicine ball throw and upper quarter Y balance test), training load and psychosocial factors (POMS questionnaire).
