The spatial orientation ability is very important for peoples’ everyday life, as well as for their distinction to the sector of athletics, which depends on many endogenous and extraneous factors. The aim of present research was to study the effect of gender and athletic occupation in the orientation ability of children (boys and girls) of age 4 to 5 years old. On this survey participated 400 children who were evaluated with the “Witeba-Test of Spatial Orientation, (Temple, Williams and Bateman, 1979)”. Data were analyzed with 2-way ANOVA (gender x athletic occupation). The results revealed nonsignificant differences between boys and girls, between the children that did or did not participate in sports and no interaction either (p > 0.05). By inference, from the present study it appeared that the ability of orientation consists an inherent feature which at least during the early years of children’s development, is not affected by the above factors.
