The program spans 12 weeks with specific objectives for each, including basic movement concepts, static balance, running, stopping/starting, jumping, throwing/rolling a ball, catching/trapping a ball, kicking a ball, and striking a ball. The last few weeks introduce more advanced skills that require the young athletes to combine the skills introduced in the earlier weeks, while providing opportunities to practice and apply skills through cooperation and teamwork.
