Abstract: The purpose of this article is to find out the importance of developing coordinative capacities in the physical education and sports lesson. The lesson of physical education and sports is a unitary process, which is carried out according to certain rules and concepts, depending on certain internal or external factors, in order to achieve the proposed objectives. The study was based on the application of methods and means specific to the lesson of physical education and sports in order to develop coordination capacities in a sample of 30 students, 18 boys and 12 girls, aged between 12 and 14 years. The development of the established program was influenced by the level of motor skills, intellectual capacities, psychomotor traits of each individual, being major differences between the results obtained by boys and the results obtained by girls in the applied tests. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, at the beginning of the program we applied an initial test with a set of 3 tests to evaluate the coordination capabilities, namely, the Flamingo Test, the Matorin Test and the Shark Skill Coordination Test, then we designed a training program specific to the development of coordination capabilities based on methods and means specific to the physical education and sports lesson that took place over a period of 30 days, I chose the materials necessary to carry out the activities, and at the end, to evaluate the performance, I applied the final testing. By applying the Flamingo Test, the aim was to test the general balance, by maintaining a balance position for one minute on one leg (of your choice), with the sole placed on a 10 cm beam, the other leg is bent and attached to the sole of the foot with hand from the same side, and the free arm is flexed at the elbow joint. The purpose of the Matorin test is to test general coordination and balance by measuring the angle of the turn achieved by jumping. The Shark Skill Coordination test is used to test coordination and agility by timing the time required to jump across one leg of nine equal 30cm squares. The initial and final tests were completed by all students, the results being recorded and analyzed. After analyzing the final tests compared to the initial tests, it was found that the program initially established was an effective one for all participants, with significant progress being recorded among both girls and boys, but the greatest progress was recorded by boys, showing a much higher assimilation of information and acquisition of coordination, in a shorter time than girls. All the students responded positively, being consciously and actively involved in the instructive-educational process, the spirit of fair play and the desire to belong to an organized group developed, being appropriated certain moral values and ethical aspects. In conclusion, we can say that the objectives proposed at the beginning of the study have been achieved, all the steps to achieve the set goal have been completed. The training program was efficient, useful, useful, operative and practical, responding to the needs of the students, as evidenced by the achievement of progress from the initial tests to the final tests. It is recommended to use the tests regarding the development of the coordination capacities of students between the ages of 12 and 14, but also to the other ages and the application of the methods and means specific to the lesson of physical education and sports in order to develop the coordination and skills of all students.
