Physical Activity Skills

Everything starts with building blocks. Mathematics starts with 1, 2, 3 and reading starts with A, B, C. Similarly, there are certain basic movement skills that are the starting point for different activities and sports. If kids don’t master these physical building blocks, they won’t develop the foundation for playing more complex sports.

But these manuals are here to help. They’re packed with information and practical advice on teaching the fundamental movement skills that will ensure learners grasp the basics and grow into sporty and active adults. Start building. Download them now.
