Nursery Programme
The ABC/Have-a-Ball Nursery Programmes are a series of fun-based exercises to develop basic movement and motor skills for children aged 4 to 6 years old. These skills form the basis for the later development of the specific skills of Gaelic Football.
Guiding Principles:
MAGIC Principle:
M – Motivational
Children will be motivated to participate if the activities are varied and fun
A – Age-Appropriate
Activities must be appropriate to the development level of each child
G – Growth
Activities must take into consideration the progress of each child. They must be carefully pitched at the appropriate level so that they are neither too difficult nor too easy, but ultimately provide a challenge to the child’s ongoing development and growth.
I – Individualized
Activities must target all ability levels
C – Child centered
Activities should allow the child to be at the center of their learning
FUNdamental movement skills (FMS) provide the building blocks to develop more sports specific skills. Just as we would hardly expect children to read without first knowing letters, we should not expect a child to play a physical activity without mastering the ABC’s (Agility, Balance, Coordination). These skills should be developed in a structured way with FUN being the central theme
