DEVELOPING PHYSICAL LITERACY

Guide for parents of Children from 0 to 12

Running, jumping, catching, kicking, throwing and hitting

something with a stick, bat, or racquet of some kind, are

the basic building blocks of the many sports played by

the vast majority of people on Earth, and a person who

can perform these fundamental sport skills well can learn

to play many sports with ease. Making good decisions in

sport situations is another skill fundamental to each sport.

The difference between fundamental movement

skills and fundamental sport skills.

Throwing is a fundamental movement skill � and a child

learning this skill will learn to throw lots of different sized

balls with one hand, or with both hands, and will learn

to throw the ball at different speeds � sometimes for

accuracy using a lot of different targets; and sometimes

for distance.

When the child learns to throw a softball, using a softball

pitching motion, and trying to get the ball to pass over

home plate, they have moved from learning a fundamental

movement skill to learning a fundamental sport skill.

Getting the Sequence Right

For children to have success in sport � either as a health

related recreational activity or in competition, it is important

that they master fundamental movement skills before

learning fundamental sport skills, and important that they

learn fundamental sport skills before being introduced to

specific techniques.

A Couple of Examples Might Help

Kicking skills:

In the Fundamental Movement Skill stage, children learn

the basic kicking action, hopefully with each foot. They kick

a wide variety of balls and try different things � kicking as

far as they can, kicking to hit a target, kicking to keep the

ball on the ground, kicking the ball as high in the air as

they can.

In the Fundamental Sport Skill stage (e.g. soccer), the

child learns to kick a soccer ball, without touching the ball

with the hands. They learn how hard they have to kick the

ball to get it to another team member, and how to kick

the ball with the inside of the foot to increase passing

accuracy.

Catching skills:

In the Fundamental Movement Skill stage, the child

learns to catch � with both hands together in a two handed

catch, and then with one hand. They catch a wide variety

of balls of different sizes and weights, and learn to catch

the ball while they are standing still, and when moving

towards the ball � skills that can be transferred to any sport

they later take up.

In the Fundamental Sport Skill stage (e.g. Baseball), the

child learns to catch a baseball, using a baseball glove. As

skill level improves the child learns to catch the baseball

first when it is thrown, and then when it is hit with the bat

� learning to catch it at ever greater distances from where

it is hit.
