About this programme:
Our Multi-skill Academy (MSA) programme was launched in 2003 and is part of the Government’s Physical Education and Sport Strategy for Young People (PESSYP).
Target audience:
MSAs are specifically aimed at young people aged 8 to 12 years old who have been identified as gifted and talented, which sits under the Junior Athlete Education programme.
Regional Multi-skill Academies are designed to challenge the most able young people further through innovative practice using the five multi-abilities and to increase practitioner knowledge using the multi-skill approach to Multi-skill Academies.
Issues that this programme tackles:
A multi-skills environment develops a young person’s agility, balance, co-ordination, body awareness and thinking core skills and are designed to bridge the transition from primary to secondary school. The activities are non-sport specific and are based around the development of fundamental movement and sport skills.
