Sport skills are voluntary, coordinated tasks with sport-specific goals. Learning basic movement skills is the first step toward learning sport-specific skills for athletic performance. Understanding these basic movements helps coaches make good training decisions for proficiency as well as for fitness and strength and conditioning. <br /><br />The field of motor (movement) learning classifies sport skills into different categories so that they can be more easily studied and applied to coaching. Coaches who understand such groupings have an advantage for developing appropriate instructional (how to teach) and training activities (what athletes do). These classifications are also used in the fields of childhood development, special education, and physical therapy.<br /><br />Keywords:sports,skills, motor, learning
