This work shows a correlational search between psychological factors and sport injuries in different categories of competition in young football players. We ana-lyse the relation between category of competition and injuries, and between psychological factors and injuries. This search was carried out in a young football club with 92 players between 10 and 15 years old. The results reported that as higher is the category of competition, higher is the number of injuries, as well as anxiety, success perception and self-confidence of the football player, but lower is the motivation. We haven found significant differences between psychological factors and injuries, although success perception, introduced as a covariant in a ANCOVA method between category of competition and injuries, appears with a tendency to the signification.

Palavras-chave : Psychological factors; categories of competition; injuries; young football players.
