FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS

Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) form the foundation of more complex and specialised movement patterns used to play sports and be physically active over a lifetime. 

Children who are confident with most FMS are likely to have increased self-esteem, self-confidence and self-management.

FMS can also be performed and learnt through play. Games allow children to practice their FMS with relevance and purpose and can also provide opportunities for problem-solving and trialling different movement patterns.
