Staying Physically Active Through the Life Cycle

Sport for Life is a social enterprise which links sport, education, recreation, health and governments to align community, provincial/territorial, and national systems and programming. It aims to improve the quality of sport and to increase the development of physical literacy - the motivation, confidence, competence and knowledge to make appropriate physical activity part of one’s life.

The Programme

In 2018 Sport for Life and Momentum IT Group partnered to create an online cloud-based management platform called PLAYBuilder - a sport and physical activity curriculum software that is designed to develop physical literacy. We do this with online content aimed at long-term development in sport and physical activity.

We have curated a package of resources for the Commonwealth Moves initiative. This includes:

• an array of activities
• lesson plans
• videos that are aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals

Each resource promotes the safety and health of participants with specific considerations:

• keep a distance of 2 meters;
• avoid sharing equipment;
• disinfect equipment before and after use;
• wash hands with soap and water before and after play; and
• use visual guides for spacing such as tape, ropes, signs, etc.
