Children will be in an environment that promotes opportunities for them to development improvement in motor skills based on their specific individual needs and choices. The CHAMP intervention promotes a mastery climate that allows each individual child to be successful and learn while promoting intrinsic motivation and autonomy.

Each session will consist of three parts: (a) 3-5 min of motor skill introductory activity, (b) 25 min of motor skill instruction and practice, and (c) 3-5 min motor skill closure activity."
