Fundamental Skills Workshops
LimbPower has been running the Fundamental Skills Workshops at six-monthly intervals in Surrey and Bristol over the last 18 months!
These educational one-day workshops are open to both upper limb and lower limb different children aged 4+ and are held across the country at different venues. Previous workshops have been held in Bath, Manchester, Surrey, Sheffield, Loughborough and Stoke Mandeville. The Fundamental Skills Workshops are designed to support children into school PE and community activity, as well as supporting children and their families in overcoming the physical, social, and psychological barriers to PE and sport by:
1. Developing sports specific skills to help children take part in school PE and community games and activities.
2. Teaching children how to use their prosthetic/s for activity in a fun and relaxed environment.
3. Building confidence and self- esteem through developing skills and meeting other children ’like me’.
4. Hosting workshops for parents and carers to discuss how they can support their children into activity and through the life-long rehabilitation process.
Children will learn the fundamental skills required to take part in school PE and community games and sports; Including throwing, catching, kicking, running, jumping, skipping, and hopping. Eachchild who takes part will receive a fundamental skills certificate for the level they are working on. When they achieve the acquired level, with six stages to work through, they will receive a badge to show their progress.
