Teaching fundamental movement skills in NSW primary schools 

The development of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) is an important step towards ensuring lifelong involvement in physical activity. It has been stated that in the early years it takes between 240 and 600 minutes of instruction time to become proficient in one FMS. Proficiency in skills like throwing, catching, kicking, leaping, and balancing, allows students to explore a range of movement options and establish active lifestyles.

The "Teaching Fundamental Movement Skills in NSW Primary Schools" site provides resources for facilitators to run professional development sessions focussed on teaching fundamental movement skills. It includes a presentation, facilitator notes, videos and guides. The objective is to enhance teachers' understanding and confidence in teaching fundamental movement skills, with a focus on developing students' proficiency in these essential skills.
