Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop an objective, reliable and valid tool for the systematic description of selected teacher behavior evident in the teaching of the cradle in lacrosse to beginners. The tool constructed was a category system, the basis of which stemmed from examining two ideas relevant to the teaching of physical skills to beginners: (1) the type of response elicited by the teacher and (2) the components that are involved in formulating a physical education lesson that emphasized the teaching of the cradle in lacrosse to beginners. The category system contained 12 categories and was divided into two parts, SPECIFIC and NON-SPECIFIC. The SPECIFIC part identified those teacher behaviors that were observed in which no opportunities were allowed to the students to make behavioral decisions. The NON-SPECIFIC part identified those teacher behaviors observed in which a choice(s) was offered to the students to make behavioral decisions. Eleven of the 12 categories were common to both parts of the category system. Three judges were trained to act as observers in the use of the system. The judges viewed three specially prepared video tapes of three experienced teachers teaching the cradle to beginners.
