Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.
                    - The International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014
If we hope for children to be active throughout life, we need to support them to develop physical literacy at a young age. Rhythmic gymnastics offers children the opportunity to develop the motivation, confidence, appreciation for sport, and competence in movement that supports them to be active for life. According to Gymnastics Canada, early participation in gymnastics develops the most fundamental movement skills, physical and motor abilities, mental abilities, social and emotional abilities, and performance skills that carry over into all aspects of life. The development of fundamental movement skills and motor skills is critical to establishing the foundation for participation in many sports and physical activities. A child who has not had the opportunity to develop these basic motor skills experiences difficulties or barriers when participating in sport experiences, or later school-based programs that involve more difficult skills.


Norglen RG supports children and adults to be active throughout the lifespan by offering classes for preschoolers to seniors.
