SPORTS PHYSICAL LITERACY AND MULTI SKILLS FOR AGES 2-4

We believe early skill and movement development is as important as eating healthily and brushing your teeth.

With an ever increasing obesity rate in young people in the country we believe early years habits to physical activity and sport is vital for long term sustained acvtivity levels.

Do something when your child is aged 2 and it will remain with them for life. Start when they go to primary school and their thoughts and attitudes will already be affected by other peoples attitudes, lack of action and above all school teachers will be playing catch up!


Pro Skills delivers a multi skills approach to ages 2+ as we know from our experience it really helps with the development of fine motor skills and also social skill building.

What is ABC’s?
• Agility
• Balance
• Coordination
• Speed

Current concerns over an increase in obesity, combined with a reduction in physical activity for both children and adults make the delivery of Physical Education in schools critical. It has been suggested that the most crucial time to encourage and enable lifelong participation in physical activity is during early childhood. This programme provides a different, fun, appropriate and adaptable way to inspire and motivate young children to develop their physical literacy. ABC’s is fully resourced and highly effective!

Pro Skills pre-school programmes are dedicated to improving the children's self esteem and confidence by ensuring the sessions are always stimulating and challenging to the children and that the children are constantly encouraged throughout the lesson. The children also achieve a great sense of worth by completing their set goals and all while learning to work and communicate with their peers.
