ABSTRACT
To definition, growth is the process resulted to the cellular multiplication and differentiation that determinate progressive change in the all body dimension or in parts and in specific segments, in respect to time, from the birth until the adult age. Objective: To analyze the sexual maturation by way of draft and pictures and corporeal mass in children and teens that practice football. Method: The study consists in domain research, with transversal character, done with 19 masculine people, between 10 and 16 years old, participating of the Football Sporting Association, in Aracaju (SE). To evaluate the sexual maturation stage, it was used the method described for Tanner, by way of self- examination protocol legitimized by Matsudo e Matsudo. Results: The pupil majority are classified in the stages P4 and P5 of maturation and the CMI 53% down, 42% ideal weight and 5% excess weight. Conclusion: It is fundamental, then, doing periodically physical evaluation, phycology, physiologic and sociological, as with techniques abilities analysis, considering the maturation stage and the MCI to prescribe certainly and efficiently the training for this people.

INTRODUCTION
The evolution of the individual has characteristics that are repeated in all, but occurring at rates sometimes different and for various reasons (BÖHME, TEIXERA & BOJIKIAN, 2005). Within this evolutionary period, puberty is the phase where it is easily possible to observe changes that will significantly affect life in adulthood (RÉ, TEIXERA, MASSA & BÖHME, 2003).
These changes influence in such a way that the characteristics of strength and physical performance in sports or non-sports activities, within the school environment, can be easily observed (BÖHME, BOJIKIAN, MARTIN & ARENA, 2001). The motor performance of young people in this phase, and the phenomena called growth spurts in height and weight, together with sexual maturation, can be understood and analyzed along with several aspects such as: body composition, growth and motor performance (BÖHME, BOJIKIAN, MARTIN & ARENA, 2001).
From the perspective of Physical Education, it is important that the professional knows how to use maturational evolution tests to identify the characteristics of students and, based on the results and analyses, to work in the correct way for a good use of them within their biological age and...
