Movement literacy (ML) refers to our capacity to move from intention to action. To optimise a child’s ML, it is incumbent upon physical educators to capitalise on a key window of opportunity in a child’s life known as the Rapid Development Phase (ages 7-12). This is a crucial period of neurological maturation where children acquire motor skills and movement patterns that become autonomous with the least frustration. With this foundation, teenager’s will be equipped to select from a range of sports to play and specialise in if they wish to pursue such a path. Therefore, high quality primary school Physical Education will pave the way for a happy, healthy, and active adult life.
