About the Program

What – The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills Workshop gives community leaders and coaches working with children a process to teach and improve fundamental movement skills.

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are the basic movements or precursor patterns to the more specialized and complex skills used in play, games, recreation and sports. This new program is based on the principles included in the Long-Term-Athlete-Development (LTAD) model and provides all participants with an NCCP credit. The program was developed by the Coaching Association of Canada.

See https://sportforlife.ca/long-term-development/ for more information on the LTAD model.

Who – The course is for high school students ages 16+ who will be working with children in sport, community recreation, camp settings, or any situation leading children in physical activity. The course is to be instructed by PHE Teachers.

Why – The FMS program focuses on basic principles of growth and maturation during the critical early years of development where physical literacy is crucial. Developing proper Fundamental Movement Skills at this critical age assures children are better prepared for mature physical activity and sport.

When/Where – The course is designed to integrate into existing PHE curriculum outcomes. Each module is 45 minutes long to be taught during regular class hours.
