What is SPIDERfit?


www.ideafit.com

After Today, You’ll Be Able To…

1. Create life-long movers

2. Build physical literacy using the SPIDERF.A.S.T. physical development system

3. Increase kids’ participation and enthusiasm for exercise

4. Asses, program, and play with purpose

What Is Physical Literacy?

“The motivation, confidence, physical competence,

understanding, and knowledge to maintain physical activity at

an individually appropriate level, throughout life.” (Margaret

Whitehead, 2007)

Perceptual-Motor SkillsThe Roots of Coordination

1. Rudimentary body awareness

• Identify parts & functions

2. Directional awareness

• Laterality & directionality

3. Spatial awareness

• Subjective & objective localization


www.ideafit.com


4. Temporal awareness

• Rhythm, timing, & tempo

5. Visual awareness

• Tracking & balance

6. Auditory awareness

• Direct or indirect


www.ideafit.com


7. Tactile awareness

• Cooperative & competitive

8. Vestibular awareness

• Head position feedback

9. Proprioceptive awareness

• Joint position feedback


www.ideafit.com

CoordinationThe “Glue” of Physical Literacy

• What is Coordination?

• Definition

• Roots in perceptual-motor skills

• PAWs


www.ideafit.com

The Elements of Coordination (PAWs)(Dr. Jozef Drabik)

• Kinesthetic Control (KC)

• 6 – 7 years old &

• 10 – 11 years old

• Asynchronous Movement Control


• Reaction



www.ideafit.com


• Rhythm

• 9 – 10 years old (boys)

• 7 – 9 years old (girls)

• Balance

• 10 – 11 years old (boys)

• 9 – 10 years old (girls)

• 12 – 14 fully matured


www.ideafit.com


• Movement Efficiency


• Spatial Precision



www.ideafit.com

Coordination Teaching Progression

• Teaching progressions for movement-based coordination (Drabik)

• Level 1 (easy): Movements requiring spatial precision

• Level 2 (intermediate): Movements requiring spatial precision with time constraints

• Level 3 (advanced): Movement requiring spatial precision with time constraints and changing conditions


www.ideafit.com

Progressive Overload for Coordination

• Change the direction of movement (plane of motion)

• Change starting or finishing position

• Change the range or pace of movements

• Create time limits

• Add extra movements

• Add extra tasks

• Change the load

• Change the environment

• Sensory interference

• Signal changes

• Exercise order


www.ideafit.com

Teaching & Coaching Techniques

• Direction-centered

• Self-observation

• Guided discovery

• Cooperative Learning

• Child Designed

• Peer Coaching

• Scaffold techniques:

• Object modification

• Complexity reduction

• Speed reduction

• Cueing

• Skill-level sequencing


www.ideafit.com

How to Use Feedback

• Internal vs. external

• Congruent feedback: Relating feedback directly to the cues given

• Feedback cycle: Feed up/feedback/feed forward

• 4 Types of feedback

• Positive and negative feedback


www.ideafit.com

Physical Literacy Program Blueprint

• Instant activity (for grouping/ for engagement/ for nervous system priming/ for group cohesiveness) (5 min)

• Warm-up circuit integrating FMA & FMS : Ground to upright (5 min)

• Skill theme (based on age) (10 min)

• Circuit (fitness, regression/ progression of assessment, skills) (10 min)

• Skill integration game (10 min)

• Huddle: homework/ word of week/ lessons learned


www.ideafit.com

Key Take-Aways

• Physical literacy and coordination are skills that can be “built,” assessed, progressed, or regressed.

• Understanding the developmental continuum can aid educators in programming the right skills at the right time.

• Understanding teaching/coaching strategy can aid in more engaged, excited, and happy learners.
