Description

The Playkit enables coaches to provide fun and progressively challenging activities for 6–12 year-old children to develop a full range of fundamental movement skills from stability, locomotion, and object control.

It helps coaches offer an activity for children and assess their movement in a simple way that engages children along the way. Through observation, coaches will guide children in developing fundamental movement skills from beginner to proficient.

The kit includes 14 activity cards that illustrate how to play each activity and how to assess a child's specific movement. Activities are designed to develop movement skills by the different types of movement (Stability, Locomotion, Object Control) and three phases of complexity from simple to complex. Activities are connected across the phases. Each card contains two QR codes with examples of games and observation techniques.

Coaches can use the Playkit in any sport programme.
