The purpose of this study was to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Achievement Goal in Sports Scale which was developed by Cumming, Smith, Smoll, Standage and Grossbard (2008), for infrastructure athletes. The study group comprised a total of 130 athletes in the infrastructure of sports clubs operating at the professional and amateur level. In the scale adaptation process; the language validity, confirmatory factor analysis, divergent-convergent validity, criterion validity, item analysis, CR and Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency methods were used. The confirmatory factor analysis process demonstrated that the adaptive values acquired were in agreement with the adaptive values in the literature. As a result of the criterion validity process, moderately positive correlations were found with the similar scale. For the divergent-convergent validity, appropriate results were obtained from the Ave, √Ave, Msv and Asv values. In order to measure the reliability values of the data collection tool, the internal consistency coefficient was found to be ,894 as a result of the Cronbach’s alpha test. Additionally, the ego sub-factor and mastership sub-factor values of the scale were found to be ,793 and ,894, respectively. According to the item analysis test results the total item correlation of the Achievement Goal in Sports Scale ranged from ,785 to ,616 for the mastership sub-factor and from ,765 to ,401 for the ego sub-factor. Also as a result of evaluating the sub 27% and super 27% groups in terms of the items, significant differences were determined (p<0.05). As a consequence, it is possible to state that the scale whose adaptation study was conducted, is suitable for use in line with the results obtained.
