The purpose of this study is to review the relation between perceived motivational climate and sport orientation with friendship dimensions in the teenage female and male athletes of volleyball in khoy city. The statistical samples of the study were 12-16 years old teenage athletes of volleyball. In order to collect data, three questionnaires of perceived motivational climate, sports orientation and friendship scale in sports were used. The obtained correlation showed that the female athletes who perceived the motivational climate as duty-centred and their sports orientations were mainly targeted were reported to show better relations with their friends in sports. But the male athletes who perceived the climate dominating their team self-centred, and their sports orientation was mainly victory-centred and competitive were reported to show more negative relations in sports.
