Building Our Basic Sport Skills

Good Day Friends!

Well this weekend we will officially start the new season of spring! What wonderful weather we have been having to kick it off! 

Try to get outside with your family and soak up some sunshine to absorb some vitamin D and fresh air for your lungs! Being outside in the sunshine just makes you want to smile and gives you energy!

During the month of March and into April our Division 1 students will be working on their basic manipulative skills. These skills include:

- underhand roll                            

- underhand throw                        

- overhand throw                          

- catching                                     

- kicking

- striking

- dribbling a soccer ball 

- dribbling a basketball

These basic skills are the foundation to developing the necessary skills to have the confidence and ability to try different sports, such as:

- bowling                                                  

- soccer

- target games, like horse shoes              

- striking sports: volleyball, tennis, badminton, table tennis, baseball, golf

- football

- baseball                                 

- basketball

Today I would like to share some great family games using these manipulative skills in the link below from ACTIVE FOR LIFE!
