The National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Fundamental Movement Skills module provides a comprehensive introduction to the development of fundamental movement skills, with the help of numerous hands-on activities.
With thanks to funding from Sport Canada, the Coaching Association of Canada has revised the foundational NCCP module, with the updated version being delivered by P/TCR’s across the country.
The NCCP Fundamental Movement Skills module provides tools and strategies to help observe, analyze and provide feedback to improve FMS and develop physical literacy in young participants. These foundational skills support lifelong physical activity and sport participation!
This module is perfect for anyone who works with children, youth, or participants of any ability level, including coaches, educators and high school teachers and recreation leaders.
Through this interactive module, participants gain the ability to:
- Understand how FMS can contribute to participation in quality physical activities and sport
- Identify and support the development of FMS for participants of diverse abilities, backgrounds and experiences
- Create inclusive and accessible activities that will promote the development of FMS
A revised High School resource is also available for teachers and educators to incorporate into their lesson plans.
