This is a popular course, and is aimed at both specialist and non specialist teachers of the

Early Years age range. It equips teachers to use fundamental movement types to build

coordination and movement vocabulary.

This basic physical literacy is then developed towards games skills through the

introduction of balls and other implements. The course will help teachers of this age

range plan a programme of activities to develop vital skills in all pupils.
