Starting from the importance of coordinative capacities in sport, the objective of this study was framed in assessingthedevelopmentof balance coordinativecapacity in Greekwrestlingathletes, pioneercategory (11-12 years), ofthe Roberto Amarán Project in Pinar del Río, Cuba. To do this, we worked with a population made up of 12 athletes who practice this modality in said project, as well as 6 coaches in charge of carrying out the training process in the initial categories. As part of the scientific methods used, two static balance tests and two dynamic balance tests were applied to these athletes, as well as a control test under variable conditions, during the development of the teaching plan for the 2018-2019 academic year; in addition to using the interview with the coaches. The data obtained were processed through the statistical package IBM SPSS Statistics Viewer 20, using the percentage calculation, and the averages. The results obtained reveal inadequacies of the athletes studied in the development of this coordinative capacity that are manifested in an incorrect posture in relation to the location of the center of gravity, in the performance of the different technical actions of the sport discipline, derived in turn of inadequacies in the work of the coaches, who do not have enough tools for a systematic and adequate work with this coordinative capacity in their athletes.
