The purpose of the study was to develop, implement and evaluate a skill assessment instrument to evaluate expertise in defensive football. The Skill Assessment Scale: Defensive Backs (SAS:DB) was based on a knowledge-based approach to sport expertise which emphasized the integration of five types of knowledge about action: procedural, declarative, affective, metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive skills. After field testing, the revised SAS:DB was sent to coaches at; high school, college, university and professional levels of play for use with their players. / The reliability, face validity and content validity of the SAS:DB scale were found to be very acceptable. Players at each playing level were categorized by their coaches into high, medium and low skill groups. Analysis of variance procedures demonstrated the ability of the scale to differentiate among these three skill levels and multiple discriminant function analysis identified the importance of the different knowledge-based categories at each level.
