Multi-skills Festivals
Multi-skill Festivals should form an integral part of the schools competition framework at key stages 1 and 2 within each School Sport Partnership. The activities delivered at a Multi-skill Festival are intended to develop the fundamental movement skills of balance, coordination and agility. Festivals provide an opportunity to implement the principles of a high quality competition for young people and can also be used to initiate assessment of ability. Individual activities could be set up each day for young people to challenge themselves and to practice, and can be delivered in Multi-skill Clubs. Multi-skill Festival resources which include sets of twelve activity station cards for key stages 1 and 2 have been developed by the Youth Sport Trust, to provide ideas and guidance on running a local festival. | |||
