Becoming more adept, coordinated, and skillful involves an interplay between children’s emergency physical capacities, resulting from growth and maturation, and the skills that develop from adult instruction (physical education) and opportunities to practice specific new skills (recess, free play). While children may develop many of their physical capabilities through play, they also need planned movement activities, explicit instruction (both verbal and modeled), and structured to guide them in becoming physically active and healthy for lifetime (NASPE 2002; Sanders 2002).
