FUNdamentals

  • Activities will include significant time for repetition, require minimal correction allowing children to safely test their own limits, and improve their abilities through experience. Activities should be helping children build confidence and competence as they engage in physical activity.
  • Emphasize the overall development of the child’s physical capacities, fundamental movement skills, and the ABCs of athleticism: agility, balance, coordination and speed.
  • Develop skills by exposing participants to a variety of drills – a mixture of structured and unstructured play, with some instruction.

Learn to Train

  • Develop foundational sport skills
  • Develop strength, endurance, and flexibility through games and fun activities.
  • This is a period of accelerated development of coordination and fine motor control. It is also a time when children enjoy practicing skills they learn and seeing their own improvement.
  • Use physical literacy movement preparation as part of warm-ups to support overall development of physical literacy.
  • Provide opportunities for every child to learn and play.
