Experts agree that physical literacy is just as important as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Physical literacy comes from developing a wide variety of fundamental movement skills such as hopping, skipping, jumping, throwing, catching, and kicking. The ABCs of movement: Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed are essential to your child’s development
