The most important motor features which are decisive for learning skills and the achievement results of the young categories in aesthetic sports are coordination and balance. The aim of the study was to estimate the different gymnastics disciplines on the bilateral coordination and the balance of girls aged 6-9 who practiced artistic, rhythmic and aerobic gymnastics and to present differences and relationship between the tested variables and total scores, and also related to the age variable. Material and methods: The bilateral coordination and balance level were assessed with two subtests of Bruinkins - Oseretcky (BOT-2) test for motor efficiency. The subtest of bilateral coordination is composed of seven items: Touching Nose with Index Fingers - Eyes Closed, Jumping Jacks, Jumping in Place - Same Sides Synchronized, Jumping in Place- Opposite Sides Synchronized, Pivoting Thumbs and Index Fingers, and Tapping Feet, Fingers- Same Sides Synchronized, and Tapping Feet and Fingers - Opposite sides synchronized and the balance of nine items: Standing with Feet Apart on a Line - Eyes Open, Walking forward on a Line, Standing on One Leg on a Line - Eyes Open, Standing with Feet Apart on a Line - Eyes Closed, Walking Forward Heel-to-Toe on a Line, Standing on One Leg on a Line - Eyes Closed, Standing on One Leg on a Balance Beam - Eyes Open, Standing Heel-to-Toe on a Balance Beam, and Standing on One Leg on a Balance Beam - Eyes Closed. Results: From the results of the ANOVA it was found that the groups were not statistically significant, except in one variable of bilateral coordination - Pivoting Thumbs and Index Fingers (F=4.05, p=.02). Correlation coefficients (r) for the Bilateral Coordination ranged from .369 to .782, and for the Balance ranged from .269 to .751, with the correlation significant at the 0.01 and 0.05 levels. Correlation between variables of bilateral coordination and balance total scores (r=.650), and age of the participants with Bilateral Coordination Total (r=.413) and Balance (r=.435) were statistically significant.
