Which of the following would be a progression of activities requiring increasing coordination?

• A. Tag, basketball, floor hockey
• B. Basketball, tag, floor hockey
• C. Basketball, floor hockey, tag
• D. Floor hockey, basketball, tag

Answer: (A)

Starting with simpler, whole-body movements and moving toward activities that require more precise control shows a clear progression in coordination. Tag focuses mainly on locomotion, quick direction changes, and body awareness with little equipment to manage. Basketball adds more complexity with catching, dribbling, passing, and shooting, requiring tighter hand–eye coordination, timing, and balance. Floor hockey then raises the demand again by adding stick handling, coordinated wrist and arm movements, and controlled contact with a stick while moving and communicating with teammates. This order builds skills gradually, from basic movement to complex object manipulation and multi-element coordination, making it the best sequence. The other options mix higher-demand activities with lower-demand ones, breaking the steady progression.
