In this study, a conceptual framework was proposed that could be used to compare the sports policies of the championship of the racket federations. The statistical society consisted of bosses and vice chairman, secretary, heads of provincial departments and specialized committees of four racket federations of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Based on the sampling formula, the sample size of the study were 134 people. The method used was targeted sampling. The questionnaire was formal and informative. The results of factor analysis for this index were extracted at %850. The statistical methods used in this research were Friedman Rank Test for ranking and tied paired T- test and Path Analysis Technique. The exploratory factor analysis method was used. In a second phase, correlations between the exploratory and theoretical factors were calculated. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the priorities of indicators of performance evaluation of racket federations, and there is a significant difference between the status quo and the desirable situation of the performance evaluation indicators of the racket sports federations. There is a significant difference between the status quo and the optimal situation of the infrastructure indicator for assessing the performance of racket federations (badminton, table tennis, ping pong, tennis, squash). (p <0/05). Also, there is a difference between the average rankings of racket federations (badminton, table tennis, tennis, squash) under the sport racket federations p <0/05. Considering the factors explained, especially the elite sport and the process of talent identification process, can stabilize the status quo, as well as help the progress of Iran's racket federations.
