The given paper summarizes the experience of using special training control professional basketball players, the approximate content of measurement procedures and tests used for the pedagogical control of basketball players. The monitoring of the functional condition is accomplished by using tests, which shall provide information for coaches on the impact of training on the body, and will help to choose the optimal strategy for training the athletes. Also, the organization of the pedagogical control of the special training of basketball players is described. Methods of research. In the started research the used scientific methods were: the analysis of the professional methodical and scientific literature about the basketball. The professional basketball players was tested - running while changing the way of movement, slalom running with the ball, distance basketball throws on speed and accuracy, evaluation of the sub-maximal force during lying press bench test, evaluation of the development of explosive strength when performance the "jump up" test, evaluation of the development of speed abilities.One of the important requirements for the test is its specificity for a certain type of sport. Testing should demonstrate how much the athlete is prepared for practicing professional basketball. Conclusions. As a rule, during the game season, periodic parameters monitoring (functional monitoring) of the functional condition of athletes is necessary. During the monitoring process, it is necessary to evaluate how the physical condition of the basketball players is changing under the influence of the competition and the training process. One of the most important goals during the season is to maintain a high physical condition, achieved during the training period, due to competently planned training cycles. Conducting functional monitoring, due to use of tests, provides for the coach information on the effect of training on the body and allows choosing the optimal strategy for training the athlete. The generalized experience of pedagogical monitoring of the training of professional basketball players allows composing the most effective tests for the working - training process.
