Why is Playtime Adventure So Important?
Expectations Are Too High.
We expect children to be able to play sports without really breaking down the key motor skills needed to perform them.
Learn The Right Way.
Key motor skills are neglected through early sport specialization. It’s like asking your child how to do the math before they can even count from 1-10, or read a book before teaching them the alphabet.
Early Specialization
Children who specialize early in a sport will most likely NOT develop a wide variety of Fundamental Motor Skills. They will probably practice only those skills necessary for their specific sport and will miss the chance to acquire a multitude of skills such as throwing, catching, kicking, jumping, and sliding, essential to participating in a range of physical activities later in life.
Children must acquire a wide variety of locomotion skills, object control, and stability before progressing onto combined skills and sport-specific games.
‘It is harder to acquire the Fundamental Motor Skills in the later teen to early-adult years than during childhood.’
