Coaches

Complete our Coaches training course, where you will be introduced to the benefits of physical activity for children with NDID, the core components of KidsAction, how to assess children’s motor skills, assign appropriate activities, set realistic personalized goals and monitor progress, the importance of social interaction, and the how to build an Indigenous-inclusive approach to coaching.

Access our “KidsAction Resources” library for resources specific to use of the KidsAction Coaching approach. We additionally host a library of “External Resources”. This section includes resources to further learning about physical activity and neurodevelopmental and/or intellectual disabilities (NDIDs). We have also included resources to learn more about Indigenous history, reconciliation, and cultures.

Browse a bank of over 100 child-friendly physical activities with descriptions, photos, and videos that show you and the families of your participants how to do these activities at home.

The Motor Skills Check-in (MSC) was developed by the KidsAction Coaching team to support community-based physical activity programs in facilitating the motor development of children with NDID. The MSC of each child in your athletic program will help improve their motor functions by clearly understanding the current ability of the child and finding ways in which to build them up to reach their physical activity goals.

Our app is currently under development.
Please refer to the “Activity Back” and the “Resource” section for our Goal Setting, Physical Activity Passport and Sticker Chart resources, until the online app is available. Once the app is up and running, you will be able to input the activity selections for each child’s home practice plan, and the goals you are assigning for each activity.
