In a cluster randomized controlled trial design, six preschools received a resource pack and a six-week local authority program involving staff training with help implementing 60 minute weekly sessions and post-program support. Six comparison preschools received a resource pack only. Twelve skills were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and at a six-month follow-up using the Children’s Activity and Movement in Preschool Study Motor Skills Protocol. One hundred and sixty two children (Mean age=4.64±0.58yrs; 53.1% boys) were included in the final analyses. There were no significant differences between-groups for total FMS, object-control or locomotor skill scores, indicating a need for program modification to facilitate greater skill improvements.\n\u000f\nFundamental movement skills (FMS) are the building blocks of more complex movements and fall into three categories; stability (e.g. balancing and twisting), locomotor (e.g. running and jumping) and object-control (e.g. catching and throwing) \u0013 ADDIN EN.CITE \u003CEndNote>\u003CCite>\u003CAuthor>Gallahue\u003C/Author>\u003CYear>2003\u003C/Year>\u003CRecNum>51\u003C/RecNum>\u003CDisplayText>(Gallahue & Donnelly, 2003)\u003C/DisplayText>\u003Crecord>\u003Crec-number>51\u003C/rec-number>\u003Cforeign-keys>\u003Ckey app=\"EN\" db-id=\"esspv2wv0a0ft5e2et4pd99v2p2exwtfdef5\" timestamp=\"0\">51\u003C/key>\u003C/foreign-keys>\u003Cref-type name=\"Book\">6\u003C/ref-type>\u003Ccontributors>\u003Cauthors>\u003Cauthor>Gallahue, D.
