Primary & Intermediate Sectors

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS)are not usually considered in the planning and execution of session plans for class or sport training. It has been scientifically proven that individuals who have a very good level of FMS development will be more successful in sports. Equally, increased participation in sport and other forms of physical activity are also thought to lead to enhancement of cognitive functioning (information processing), memory, concentration, behavior and academic achievement for children.
