Quote:All of those things are skills.

 

They are attributes, but not skills. Sport skills are coordinated movements for sport specific tasks. The most difficult skills in football are throwing, kicking, or punting a football, and they are done by specialists. Sports in which all participants must move an object such as a ball are more difficult than sports in which only certain players must do so. So most team-based ball sports require more skill than American football. 

 

If you break sports down into difficulty of skill, you could use this list to get an idea of where different sports lie on the "most skill require" spectrum. 

 

1. Sports that use hands to control ball 

2. Sports that use feet to control ball

3. Sports that use object to control ball
