In developing and teaching a child through physical activity, we break down simple skills into key components to help the child learn and understand. Given the opportunity to learn a wide range of physical skills, children acquire the basic building blocks for competence, confidence, and motivation to try many physical activities and sport.
Fundamental movement skills are very important to a child’s physical development. When confident and competent in these skills, children can develop sport-specific and complex movement skills.
These skills allow children to enjoy sport and physical activities. Most importantly, with a firm grasp of the fundamental movement skills, a child may enjoy a long life of physical activity.
Certified PHE teachers can facilitate this NCCP course through a special kit. This kit restructures the course to integrate into existing PHE curriculum outcomes. Each module is 45 minutes long to be taught during regular class hours. This course gives high school students a process to teach fundamental movement skills to children.
