5 yrs Multi Sports Skills
Highly recommended for younger 5 year OLD and those that have not completed the previous level of Skill Development should ENROLL for the 5 yrs Skill Development programme
We employ the following techniques in order to make each skill taught both challenging but achievable:
- Catching – Using bigger balls
- Hitting and kicking balls – Bringing the targets in closer
- Single task activity at the beginning and gradually evolving to sequential task activity (but still kept simple)
- Tasks are structured to be non competitive in nature and design
- Each child has a name badge so feedback is individualised
- Using simple and clear language that children of this age understand
- Development of self confidence/working with others/persistance/listening and taking on advice/understanding success may take several attempts/self evaluation/positive behaviour techniques
Children acquire and develop the following skills during this stage:
- Eye tracking – using smaller balls approaching from varying angles and distances
- Catching – with various degrees of difficulty and often whilst moving
- Throwing – where a greater level of technique becomes important
- Running – covered all year round and critically important for progress in any sport
- Movement and agility – Through a range of equipment children will learn to change direction whilst in motion
- Jumping – our activities involving leg thrusts help improve leg strength
- Balance – our balance beams and balancing activities help children to acquire this skill
- Fine and gross motor skill development is achieved using our patented GSM mats specifically for this purpose.
