Objective of the study was to classify the key coordinaton qualities versus the main elements of the modern cross-coutnry ski strides. Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the study the 12-14-year-old ski racers from a Children and Youth Sports School and `Start` Olympic Reserve Sports School in Tchaikovsky. The study was designed to rate the technical fitness and coordinaton qualities of the sample by a questionnaire survey of 12 coaches. Results of the study. When processing the results of the questionnaire survey, the coaches singled out the most important forms of manifestation of coordinating abilities in the racing skiers. The data obtained suggest that the level of development of coordinating abilities significantly affects athletes` technical fitness level, which ensure fewer errors when performing different elements of ski techniques. The quality of execution of each technical element depends on the level of development of certain forms of manifestation of coordinating abilities (individually or in combination). Technical fitness in the modern cross-country skiing sport directly depends on the individual coordination qualities that need to be excelled regardless of the athlete`s skill level and training stage in the multiannual training process since the modern ski races are run in difficult terrains and the competitive events in the modern cross-country skiing sport are often revised and expanded with the athletes expected to timely and effectively adjust to any sport situation for success.
