Physical Literacy: What Exactly is it?
Physical literacy is the development of fundamentalmovement skills and fundamental sport skills
that permit a child to move confidently andwith control, in a wide range of physical activity, rhythmic(dance) and sport situations.
Physical literacy also includes the ability to “read” what is going on around them in an activity setting and react appropriately to those events.
Physical Literacy: Acquiring skills and confidence allowsindividuals to enjoy a variety of sports and physical activities
Where is Physical Literacy Developed?
• On the ground• In and on the water• On snow and ice• In the air
Developing physical literacy in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments is the basis for participating in a wide range of sports and physical activities.
When to Develop Physical Literacy
The most important step toward developing physical literacy is the mastering of fundamental movement skills, but mastery does not happen all at once.
For almost every skill, a developing child needs to go through a series of developmental stages
As suggested in a CS4L 2010 discussion paper:
1. Support the involvement of everyone2. Audit existing equipment and facilities3. Public active living opportunities for all ages4. Equal opportunity for recreation & competition5. Fair and equal access of all facilities6. Forefront of physical literacy programming7. Facilitate partnerships
