(1) Background: This study aimed to examine the role of social support in the relationship between perceived motor competence (MC) and physical activity (PA), according to the conceptual model of Motor Development. (2) Methods: Participants were 518 students (46.5% girls), 8-12 years old. By using a structural equation modeling approach, path analysis was used to test the actual-perceived MC relationship and the mediating influence of social support on the perceived MC-PA relationship. Analyses were done with age and sex as covariates. (3) Results: The results showed a good model fit (CFI = 0.98; RMSEA = 0.07; SRMR = 0.02), where actual MC was positively associated with perceived MC (ß = 0.26, p &lt; 0.001), which in turn was positively related to social support (ß = 0.34, p &lt; 0.001). The model showed the direct social support-PA path (ß = 0.42, p &lt; 0.001) and the indirect path from perceived MC through social support to PA (ß = 0.14, p &lt; 0.001). (4) Conclusions: This study confirms that social support mediates the perceived MC-PA relationship. As such, it is not only important to build and develop children's actual and perceived MC, but also to promote social support for PA engagement.
