Importance of broad motor development
Scientific research shows that broad motor development in children and practicing multisport has many benefits.
- It gives children confidence in movement.
- Children more easily find a sport that suits them.
- It increases the chance of a lifetime of active movement.
Scientifically based movement program
The activities within the Play app are based on the Monkey Moves competency matrix®. This matrix outlines the motor skills children should encounter in different phases of development—from rolling and jumping to balancing and throwing. The scientific foundation of this matrix was developed in collaboration with universities and colleges.
