If we create an environment that encourages them to be active but allow them choice and a voice on how they do it….. they will do the rest.

If we focus on play….. the development will take care of itself !!!

Happy National #Playday !! 

Practicing what I'm preaching.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak at the National Sports & Physical Activity Convention on allowing children to play and not specialise in sports at too early and age.

acquired a proficient level of FMS.

Children controlling the content of their own play for their own reasons…. Giving children the time, space and permission to play freely is the key, they will do the rest.

[PAPS Project ( Physical Activity, Play & Sport) @PAPSProject2022]

Developing a good level fundamental movement skills (FMS) such as running, jumping, catching, throwing, kicking etc. is a necessity for children if they are to develop better sport specific skills (SSS)

All too often sports coaches focus on developing SSS before children have

Hundreds of children and adults enjoying the free activities provided.

Session aims were to get them active but to do so by allowing them choice and freedom to play as they wanted !!!! We’re they active … you bet they were. #PlayMatters @TheDavidGaul @angela_stallard @playboard_ @PlayBoardCEO @Bernadettemc_

[PAPS Project ( Physical Activity, Play & Sport) @PAPSProject2022]

Todays play sessions invitations to play included; Crawl gates, hurdles, hula hoops, balls, bean bags, parachute, planks, tyres and creates among others. No rules, no drills, no queues ! Just free play and children controlling the content of their own play. (1/2)
