Christopher Davis, CEO Little Athletics Queensland

This webinar examines the importance of physical activity in childhood development and its role in establishing lifelong healthy movement habits. It highlights how developing fundamental movement skills -such as running, jumping, walking, throwing, and rolling are essential for children to confidently engage in sport and physical activity later in life.

The session will also explore emerging trends in an increasingly digital world, including the impacts on children who lack these core movement skills and the importance of early, active experiences to support physical competence and wellbeing.
