skill games/sports


Explanation:
Considero que puede tratarse de dos cosas:

- juegos de habilidad (skill games)

- deportes "de habilidad" (skill sports - ver enlace)

Aunque es posible que se refiera a ese tipo de depotes (tiro, tiro con arco, billar, etc), podría también tratarse de juegos de habilidad, ya que en la lista no solamente se enumeran deportes sino otras actividades (juegos de supervivencia, paseos en globo, ...)


Suerte.

skill circuit


Explanation:
the term may be short for "circuito de habilidad", as here:

En los pabellones II y III se encuentra la zona dedicada al deporte, circuito de bicis, tirolina, juegos tradicionales, puenting, Armilla deportiva; una pista de esquí; esgrima; circuito de bicicletas, baloncesto, tenis de mesa, ***circuito de habilidad***; tiro neumático; puentingasí como el espacio del Area de Juventud del Ayuntamiento de Armilla dedicado al hip-hop y break-dance.
http://www.ayuntamientodearmilla.es/2004/juvevisita2.htm

The Enqlish equivalent is "skill circuit" or "skills circuit", as in this example:

Children will also improve social skills as they learn to work together in our ***skill circuits***.
http://www.novaksgymnastics.com/philosophy.html

Here is a description of what these skill circuits involve:

Circuit training is a great way to teach children to improve their skill in
a specific fitness area or sport. Stations teach isolated movements and
help children have specific and timed practice in a certain skill area.
Skills challenge different parts of the body as the child goes from one
station to another station practicing their skill.

Circuits teach strength, power, speed, endurance, agility, and flexibility. The stations can be conducted indoors or outside and only require a small space for each station.
