The biological origins of disease (sedentary behavior and over-consumption of food) have started to outstrip the ability of our health care system to cope.
THE first statistical decline in life expectancy of Canadians since 1961!
What is it?
The motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for maintaining purposeful physical pursuits/activities throughout the life course.
M. Whitehead July 2013
Physical Literacy for Life • Sport & Recreation
– Fundamental Movement Skills – General Movement Sequences – Performance in sports
• Vocational
– Firefighter, armed services, dry waller, iron worker, underwater welder, etc.
• Activities of Daily Living
– Garden, paint, hammer, walk on slippery surfaces, etc.
• Injury Prevention
– Lift, carry, transfer, lower – back injury in the workplace– Falls, stumble recovery, landing – wrist and hip fractures in the elderly– ACL: Female to Male ratio is 6:1, physical literacy related!Physical literacy is a critical part of
being a human being. Period.
Individuals who are physically literate move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.

Physical Literacy Assessment
Physical literacy is more than just …running form.
Running• Emerging (up to 3 years)
• Developing
– 3 to about 8 where mature form can be achieved
• Mature form (grade 5)
• Competence– Speed of running still increases!! even if you meet
basic age related milestones for mature form of running
• Expert mastery or full proficiency (Age 25 – 29) –
Usain Bolt.
www.physicalliteracy.ca/PLAY
PLAY Tools• Play FUN – objective assessment of competence,
confidence, comprehension of skills and tasks (sequences)
• PLAY Coach – coach/PE/PT assessment of a child
• PLAY Parent – parental assessment of a child
• PLAY Self - child’s self assessment
• PLAY Basic – short form of PLAY Fun
• PLAY Inventory - inventory of activities- participationEach Tool has:• Workbook• Form• Scoresheet
• Tracking Sheet• Calls-to-action
http://passportforlife.ca
• Passport for Life has four components – Self report of Participation– Self report of Life Skills – Objective assessment of Fitness
• Core strength• CV fitness• Dynamic balance
– Objective assessment of Movement • Locomotor task• Catch and throw task• Kicking tasks
• Physical literacy is not an end-point, but a journey.• It is best acquired early, but can be developed at
any time.• We can assess developmental building blocks of
PL, but cannot say “you are fully physically literate”• Once PL is developed, it must be maintained.• Building a physically literate community means
building community environments that support individual physical literacy…in schools, in sport, at work and throughout the built environment!
Physical Literacy is a life-long journey
So how do we build a physically literate
community?
We have lots of good ideas…
Thing 1:You need a rallying point for
community building.
(“Interaction before action.”)
To sport: PL is a foundation for excellence…To recreation: PL is a social good, essential for a full life…To public health: PL is the foundation of wellness and a key to preventive health care…To education: PL is essential to the development of the whole individual and supports other kinds of learning…
Physical Literacy: common ground, common goal
Shelton and Way 2009
We need to work together!
Thing 2:
Building community means empowering people to overcome institutional
obstacles.
“The goals of the OSRCF program are to:
• Increase opportunities for sport and recreation participation;
• Implement physical literacy in sport and recreation activity as a foundation for lifelong participation;
• Strengthen the community sport and recreation sector by building capacity.
• Projects must demonstrate alignment with the CS4L continuum…Active Start, FUNdamentals, Learn to Train, Active for Life.”
• Granted $7.5 million to 133 projects in 2013.
What else do we need to build community?

RS
CS4L Ambassador Network• Ontario’s team of champions, experts and
leaders working to develop physical literacy and CS4L
• An open “community of practice” - contact [email protected]
To gather people around a cause…
To facilitate an exchange
So we can help clear institutional obstacles (empower) and create new practices.
What are we doing?
So we need…

• Support from McConnell Foundation• Beginning Fall 2013, a total of $150,000 in matching
funds is being distributed to eligible communities: $5,000 - $15,000 per project.
• The project runs until March 15, 2015.

anyway?
How will you build your community?
We want to build physical
literacy in every
community.
