What is Physical Literacy?
Physical Literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsi-
bility for engagement in physical activities for life in any environment. The objective of undertaking a physical literacy directive
at the YMCA is to increase the movement vocabulary in our partici-
pants. An increased movement vocabulary of an individual is related to
a greater chance for success and confidence in a variety of sport and
recreational activities.
Our goal is to teach kids fundamental movement and sport skills like
how to throw, catch, run and move – with the goal of giving them the
capacities and confidence to participate in activity for life!
Why is Physical Literacy Important?
Child hood obesity and inactivity is on the rise.
A lack of physical literacy in today’s youth has contributed to the child-
hood obesity epidemic. In Canada, fewer than half our children and
youth are active enough to ensure healthy growth and development.
Even scarier, the percentage of youth that are meeting physical activity
requirements decreases dramatically in pre-teen and teenage years as social pressure can make someone who is not confident
retreat from participating to avoid embarrassment. YMCA Physical Literacy programs aim to help children learn the Fundamen-
tal Movement Skills that are the base of all other human movement to keep them on track or help them catch up with their
peers. We do this by providing a safe environment where all children feel comfortable learning/developing skills to build their
physical literacy vocabulary through fun games and positive social interactions. While Physical Literacy Classes specifically tar-
get this area, it is important to note that physical literacy is also seen in many of our youth, aquatics and child care programs.

Multisport Fundamentals
The Regina Multisport Club is partnering with YMCA Regina to offer 7 to 13 year-olds youth a multisport activity program to
have fun, improve fitness, and to learn proper swimming, biking and running techniques. Novice and experienced youth are
welcome.
Because this is a multisport activity, cross-training is built in and the participants will be provided variety, balance, and gain
overall fitness. Also, it will provide confidence for youth that may be interested in participating in local youth-oriented multi-
sport events (e.g. the YMCA Y-Kids-Tri
event in July).

Regina Marlins Swim Club
Based at the Regina YMCA, the Regina Marlins swim club provides professional coaching to swimmers from 4 years to post-
secondary. Our coaches work with our swimmers in small groups, helping them to set and achieve their personal fitness and
swimming goals. Our team offers an environment of fun, fitness and
friendship.
Mini Marlins: Boys and girls as young as 4 years old progress quickly in
our Mini Marlins program. Mini Marlins have lots of fun while developing
skills and endurance. As they progress through three levels of Mini Mar-
lins, swimmers will learn the four basic strokes as well as starts and turns.
Competitive Program: For swimmers who are 7 years up to post-
secondary, we offer a high quality competitive speed swimming pro-
gram. Swimmers progress through our White, Blue, Red and Senior com-
petitive groups. Competitive swimmers attend developmental swim meets
throughout the province and may attend invitational and championship
meets throughout Canada.
Non-Competitive Program: This program is designed for swimmers who
want to stay involved in swimming and work on fitness and endurance. It is a great option for cross-training with other sports,
such as hockey, triathlon, gymnastics, or dance. It can also complement swimming lessons or life-saving courses by providing
additional opportunities to develop strength and endurance.
Speed swimming develops strength and endurance, and skill. It is a great way to improve fitness while having fun. Swimming
provides a low impact, aerobic workout for your whole body. Moving through the water provides resistance training, which
strengthens and tones muscles.
We have operated successfully in Regina since 1967 and are affiliated with Swim Saskatchewan and Swimming Canada. More
information about the Marlins is available by contacting coach@reginamarlins.com , visiting our website at reginamarlins.com
or calling 306-789-7732.

Without developed physical literacy, children and youth are at a greater risk of dropping out of physical activity and sport. By
developing fundamental movement skills and increasing one’s gross motor ability, it allows for one to establish a good founda-
tion to participate in many sports and physical activities. YMCA of Regina Physical Literacy classes teach Fundamental Move-
ment Skills through fun games, obstacle courses and coaching from our YMCA fundamental movement skill trained leaders.
Our Physical Literacy Classes will cover:
Fundamental Human Movements (Run, Jump, Hop...)
Fundamental Sport Skills (Throw, Catch, Kick...)
Fundamental Gymnastics (Balance, Tumbling…)

activities in the future.
Spatial and Body Awareness
Introduction to Running, Jumping and Hopping
Introduction to Throwing, Catching and Kicking
Active Start Preschool (3-5Y)
Preschool Active Start classes focus on building a child’s move-
ment vocabulary and social skills. Classes introduce the founda-
tions of the Fundamental Movement Skills needed to be confi-
dent in trying new activities and sports. Children will also learn
the social skills necessary to work independent of their parents
within a group of their peers; Parents are not out on the floor
with their children but can watch classes within in the area.

(5-9Y)
Continue a child’s movement endeavours with this skills fo-
cused class. Whether your child is in sport or simply looking to
increase or improve their movement repertoire, this class will
provide a user manual for children to master some already fa-
miliar movements and work on new, more complex skills. It’s
very important for children to practice a wide variety of move-
ment skills to increase their confidence to try new activities
now and into adulthood.

FUNdamentals – Girls
(5-12Y)
Empowering young girls to be strong, confident movers is aim
of this class. Research shows that girls who are not actively en-
gaged in sport/recreational activity by the age of 10 are at a
higher risk of being less active through their teen years and in-
to adulthood. Our goal is to foster Physical Literacy skills in an
inviting all female environment that is fun and builds confi-
dence. Course material is identical to FUNdamentals.

Roped Climbing & Bouldering (6Y+)
Drop in and learn rock climbing basics and safety with a
trained YMCA staff. Many people think that rock climbing is
an upper body type sport. The fact is rock climbing primarily
uses legs, precise footwork and balance. Try one of our many
climbing routes or simply enjoy a game of capture the flag on
the wall. If you have the ability to walk, respect heights and a
desire to try rock climbing, you have met the prerequisite. For
the beginner or the newcomer ages 6 and Up.
Parkour Jam (10-14Y)
Parkour is a training discipline that develops movement skills
such as running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, and
rolling. In this class, kids aged 10 – 14 years will learn how to
get from one point to another in the fastest and most effi-
cient way by moving around, across, through, over and under
obstacles. This intermediate class will encourage kids to de-
velop new athletic skills at their own pace. Having a strong
body awareness and basic Physical Literacy is a recommend-
ed pre-requisite to this program
Fit Kids (6-12Y)
Free Play is an essential part of a child’s development and we
want to encourage our kids to explore movements on their
own at the YMCA. This class will consist of unstructured play
in the Physical Literacy space with a few game ideas to bring
the group together. Swing from the rings, climb the monkey
bars, balance on the beams or run and jump over the many
obstacles on the soft gymnastics floor.
YMCA Rookie Basketball (5-7Y)

YMCA Plusone Mentoring Program
Become a volunteer mentor with the YMCA Plusone Mentoring Program and unleash the potential in a young person in your
community! Modeled after the award-winning program from the YMCA of Scotland, the Plusone Mentoring program focuses
on giving young people the opportunity to develop self-determination, self-esteem and a supportive relationship with an adult
role model through the Youth Work approach.
As a mentor, you will receive a membership to the YMCA at no cost for the duration of your participation in the program, train-
ing in the Youth Work approach, the YMCA Child Protection Policy and Procedures and the opportunity to build a meaningful
relationship with a young person in your community. Mentors will also receive one-to-one support from Program facilitators in
order to ensure the relationship is reaching its fullest potential.
The mentoring relationship lasts for one-year during this time, mentors will be matched with a young person that has been re-
ferred to the program from our Community Partners. The pair will then meet weekly at their local YMCA for 2-3 hours and par-
ticipate in sports, leisure and capacity building activities. The frequency of meetings decrease as the year progress in order to
leverage the skills and abilities the young person has developed into a sense of agency and confidence to confront their daily
lives.
More information about the program including the Application form can be found on the YMCA Website. Program Facilitator
