Sumario:The objective of this article was to determine the relationship between agility and coordination skills in children of the Sports Training School of the Municipal Sports and Recreation Institute of Tunja - IRDET. For this, 30 male players were intervened, with ages between 12 and 14 years. The coordination skills were evaluated with the Caminero motor test and the agility with the Illinois test. As a group, in reference to agility, the participants presented an average time of 18.4223 ± 1.1779 seconds, and as regards the coordinative capacity, the participants showed an average time of 18.9037 ± 1.59467 seconds. It was concluded that there is a non-significant, weak and direct relationship between agility and coordinative capacities, which indicates that an increase in agility implies a weak increase in coordinative capacities and vice versa.
