PHYSICAL LITERACY TRAINING SERIES
Training series is made possible because of 
The Be Fit For Life Centre and the Grande Prairie Sport Council have teamed up with RBC Learn to Play and Makeadiff sports grants to help develop a sustainable and healthy sport community in Grande Prairie and surrounding areas. One of the ways we look forward to doing this is by building our leadership capacity by offering FREE workshops on a variety of topics based on Physical Literacy. Whether you are in sport, recreation, education, early childhood, or health…physical literacy speaks to all of us!
Physical Literacy 101
FEBRUARY 3RD, 2016
Location: GPRC
Time: 6-9 PM
Cost: FREE (part of the PL training series)
An Introduction to Physical Literacy – Physical activity is a lot more fun when you are physically literate. Now more than ever, physical literacy is being recognized as an important component of best practices in the sport, recreation, health and education sectors within Canada. Unfortunately, not everyone knows or understands what exactly physical literacy is. The goal of the Physical Literacy 101 Workshop is to cover a broad introduction to the concept of physical literacy. During this workshop, you will take part in an interactive session that will help you to define what exactly physical literacy means and how you can integrate its concepts to improve your programs. You will leave with a solid understanding of what physical literacy is and knowledge of how you can encourage continual improvement and development of physical literacy skills across the lifespan.
