Developing Fundamental Movement Skills
The Developing Fundamental Movement Skills resource uses play and simple activities to help kids get involved in games and improve at their own rate. Developing Fundamental Movement Skills aims to establish a sound base for sport, so young people can move easily into modified sports and adult sports.
This new resource (published in October 2007) builds on the materials in the 1997 Kiwisport Fundamental Skills Manual, and provides greater emphasis on progressive development of skills.
The activities in Developing Fundamental Movement Skills are simple and require only basic knowledge to teach or coach.
