Objective of the study was to theoretically substantiate, develop and test benefits of a new movement coordination skills training model for the 11-13 year-old female handball players in advanced training stage.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the study the 11-13 year-old female handball players from CYSS № 53 in Moscow and split them up into Experimental and Reference Groups (EG, RG) of 20 people each. The movement coordination skills training model included the following two training versions: focused/ emphasized movement coordination skills training with a special priority to selected movement coordination skill in a training session; and unspecific/ combined movement coordination skills trainings integrating different movement coordination skills within training session or training micro-cycle. The new movement coordination skills model assigned 15 to 30 minutes in the total EG training time for the movement coordination trainings. And the RG was trained with a traditional emphasis on the key movement coordination skills.
Results and conclusion. The new movement coordination skills training model testing experiment found the model beneficial as verified by the EG versus RG progress, particularly in the unspecific movement coordination skills training version. Both movement coordination skills training versions were tested beneficial for the team sport advanced training stage as they were found to facilitate the movement coordination progress in a harmonized manner (provided the individual movement coordination skills training times are kept equal); with optional focused trainings of some individual key movement coordination skills.

Keywords: 11-13-year-old female handball players, movement coordination skills, advanced training, unspecific/ focused movement coordination skills training.
