The goal of this study was to improve motor competence and social relationships among students with coordination and / or social difficulties, through an integrative reinforcement program, from motor skills. For that purpose, the study was divided into four phases. In the first one, from among 60 children participating in the third year of Early Childhood Education, those who were susceptible to suffer difficulties with movement and / or deficits in their social relationships were selected, after having applied different filter tests. In the second and third phase, motor competence was evaluated through the Children's Movement Assessment Battery (MABC-2) and a physical literacy program was implemented aimed at the development of basic motor skills. Finally, in the fourth phase, it was checked whether there had been any improvement in the motor competence and social relations of the participating students. After intervention, significant improvements were found between the pre and post averages in the dimension balance, aim and catch and overall score, plus a significant improvement in positive friend. These results invite us to continue working to promote the adequate development among students in the infant stage, both at the motor and social levels.
