Preparing
for a Life in Sport LTAD - scUK
Objective: To learn FUNdamental
movement skills
Content: Overall development, focusing
on the ABCs (Agility, Balance, Coordination, speed) to underpin
the generic skills used in many sports: running, jumping and
throwing.
Try simple awareness games. For example,
a number of children creep up on a spotter whose back is turned
but who must be still when s/he turns around. This challenges
the ability to both move quickly and to stop. Equally, the
spotter might sneak a look to ascertain movement using lateral
vision out of the corner of the eye. These games can be used
to introduce rules and ethics, fairness etc.
Frequency: Perform physical
activity 5 - 6 times per week.
