Strength & Agility
What does a green zone for Strength & Agility mean?
A green zone for Strength & Agility means your child's gross-motor skills — strength, balance, coordination and confident movement — are tracking comfortably for their age. It's a reassuring, on-track result. The colour is a simple snapshot from a clinician-administered look at your child against their own baseline, and only a Pinnacle clinician confirms the full picture.
A green zone is a moment to celebrate — your child is moving, climbing and balancing right in step with what we'd hope to see.
In short
A green zone for Strength & Agility means your child's gross-motor abilities — their core strength, balance, coordination and how confidently they move, run, climb and play — are tracking comfortably along the expected path for their age. It is a reassuring, on-track result, not something to worry about. The colour is a simple, friendly snapshot from a clinician-administered look at your child against their own developmental baseline.What the green zone is telling you
Think of the RAG colours (red, amber, green) as a warm, plain-language way of sharing where your child sits in one area of development:- Green — on track and developing well; keep doing what you're doing and keep offering rich movement play.
- Amber — worth gentle watching and a little extra support.
- Red — a focus area that would benefit from closer attention.
For Strength & Agility specifically, green suggests your child is building the muscle strength, postural control, balance and whole-body coordination that underpin everyday skills — sitting steadily, running, jumping, climbing stairs, catching, and joining in active play. These foundations also quietly support attention, handwriting readiness and confidence on the playground.
Green in one zone doesn't tell the whole story — development happens across several domains at once (speech, social, fine motor and more), so it's lovely to read each zone alongside the others for the full picture.
Keeping the momentum
There's nothing you need to fix — the goal now is simply to keep movement joyful and frequent. Plenty of floor play, outdoor running and climbing, balance games, ball play and dancing all keep those growing muscles and coordination thriving. If anything ever changes — a new wobble, fatigue, or your child avoiding activities they once enjoyed — a quick chat with your clinician is always worthwhile.The Pinnacle way

Frequently asked
Does a green zone mean my child is gifted at sport?
Not specifically — green simply means your child's strength, balance and coordination are tracking comfortably for their age. It's a healthy, on-track result rather than a measure of athletic talent. Keep offering plenty of active play to nurture those skills.
Can a green zone change later?
Yes, development is dynamic. A green result is a snapshot in time. Children grow in spurts and across different domains, so it's worth re-checking periodically and chatting with your clinician if anything noticeably changes.
Should I still do anything if my child is in the green?
There's nothing you need to fix. Simply keep movement frequent and fun — running, climbing, balancing, ball games — which helps maintain and build on those strong foundations.
What if other zones aren't green?
That's quite common — development happens across many areas at once. A green in one zone is great news for that area; your clinician can read all the zones together and guide gentle support wherever it's helpful.
