Why Are FMS Important?Why Are FMS Important?
• Fundamental Movement Skills Are the basic building blocks for the overall
development of physical literacy Are critical for children to become
competent in sporting activities
• Without them, many children and youth choose to withdraw from sport

FMS Progression FMS Progression
• There is typically a developmental progression amongst the skills
• Children must master certain stability skills before they can progress onto locomotor skills (Stopping involves stability)
• Manipulative skills are generally the last to emerge

Conclusion/ Games DebriefConclusion/ Games Debrief
• Fundamental Movement Skills are critical building blocks for physical literacy
• There are three categories of fundamental movements Locomotor Stability Object manipulation
• There is a developmental progression to when these skills begin to emerge
