Getting active should be fun, and Physical Literacy Week is a great reminder of that! 🤸‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Physical Literacy Week encourages children aged 0-12 to move, play and discover activities they enjoy.

Families, sporting clubs and community organisations all play an important role in helping children build confidence, develop new skills and experience the joy of being active.

At CITS, we want more children to have positive experiences with sport, recreation and movement from an early age.

This Physical Literacy Week, we're encouraging communities across WA to get involved, have some fun and help children find ways to move that work for them.
