Introduction: Athletics is always accompanied by an inherent risk of injuries. It is very essential to determine the ability of a person to participate in sporting events. Functional mobility skills are important talents that should be assessed up to 10 years of age, as these skills are the foundation for a variety of sports. After the age of 10 years, it is essential to improve some athletic talents, such as agility, mobility, and flexibility. Therefore Functional movement screen scoring (FMS) has already been used as a test to make evaluating movement patterns in ordinary sports practice easier. Aim: This study aims to detect if there is a relationship between FMS and hamstring flexibility and agility. Materials Methods: Sixtysix subjects were chosen based on a set of eligibility criteria and were allotted to two distinct groups (group A FMS>14, group B FMS<14) using a convenient sampling technique. Group A (FMS>14) is a correlation done between FMS that was assessed using the FMS kit along with hamstring flexibility using the AKE test and Agility using IAT. Group B (FMS<14) is a correlation done between FMS that was assessed using the FMS kit along with hamstring flexibility using AKE and agility using IAT. The results were calculated using a coefficient correlation test. Outcome Measures: FMS, AKE, IAT. Results: There was a positive correlation between FMS and agility that is when FMS were high, the agility time was less and vice versa. The relationship of FMS with knee extension was positive, suggesting that when FMS were high, knee extension was more and vice versa. Conclusion: This study states that there is a positive correlation between FMS with athlete performance among recreational football players .
