Let's start moving together
Physical literacy is when children have developed the skills, confidence and love of movement to be physically active for life. Children who never learn to read or write become adults who can’t read or write. Should we be surprised that children who never develop movement skills become inactive, uncoordinated adults? Studies suggests that children’s movement skills and physical literacy have been in steady decline in recent years. The failure to develop their movement skills subsequently reduces their interest and ability to participate in physical activity, and also limits their essential mobility skills and overall wellbeing in to adulthood.
Movement For Life
Why is this so important? Well, the fact is that children are spending more time playing indoors and on screens than outdoors and in the park. As a result, they are increasingly failing to develop the basic building blocks of movement.
These include running, throwing, kicking, catching, jumping and balancing. The challenge now is for children to not only develop these skills, but to positively want to be physically active – and to understand why regular physical activity is so important to their future lives. Which is precisely what KickStart Coaching is here to do.
Physical Literacy: Lessons that Last a Lifetime, the fundamental movement skills you learn as a young child can have a significant impact on the rest of your life, through school and into adulthood.
“It is evident to see the confidence our children are building through Kickstart Coachings PE lessons and the positive impact within our classroom settings.”
