When children acquire and practice fundamental movement and sport skills at a young age they are more likely to stay active and maintain healthy habits in adulthood. YMCA Staff that lead these programs are trained in National Coaching Certification Program Fundamental Movement Skills (NCCP FMS). Aligned with the Canadian Sport for Life’s Long Term Athlete Development Framework (CS4L LTAD), all YMCA programs provide children and youth the opportunity to practice and improve their physical literacy skills developing movement confidence and competence to be “Active for Life.” Active Start FUNdamentals Learn to Train Learn basic movement skills and link them together into play. Develop habits of being active. Learn fundamental movement skills and build agility, balance and coordination. Transition to high performance for those with appropriate skills and motivation. Boys 0-6 and Girls 0-6 Boys 6-9 and Girls 6-8 Boys 9-12 and Girls 8-11 These first 3 stages set the foundation for developing physical literacy. Active for Life Participants who have developed physical literacy can transition smoothly into being “Active for Life.” In addition, there should be a smooth transition from an athlete’s competitive career into lifelong activity and participation in sport. Stage ends with onset of adolescent growth spurt. Train to Train Build aerobic base, develop speed and strength towards the end of this stage, and further develop and consolidate sport skills. PHYSICAL LITERACY: Acquiring skills and confidence allows individuals to enjoy a variety of sports and physical activities ~ Canadian Sport for Life Train to Win Podium Performance.
