The subjects were divided into two groups one was experimental group and another was control group, each group consist of 30 subjects. Experimental group restricted to 12 weeks of motor skill development training program, control group did not perform any specific motor skill development programme. The training session was conducted in three days per week, each session consists of 60 minutes� program including warming up and warming down. This study was restricted to selected performance variable which was chosen as basic coordination abilities. The pre and post test was conducted after intervention for the children. Based on the analysis of statistical results the twelve weeks of specific motor skills development programme was significantly improved on balance ability, differentiation ability, orientation ability, reaction ability, rhythm ability and adapted ability to the 7 and 9 years children.
