The current study examined the effects of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) training. These effects were probed into through cooperative learning approach on Motivation and Confidence (MC) of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) to engage in physical activities. Twenty-eight (28) children with DCD participated in the current study. Participants were divided into two equal groups, that is, experimental and control group. Each group comprised fourteen participants. Boys and girls both participated in the study. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select the sample. Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) were used for the diagnosis of DCD. Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy-2 (CAPL-2) was used to determine the MC level of participants. The results revealed significant difference in the progress of experimental and control group.
