About the project
STEPS — Small feet — big steps
An Erasmus+ Sport project developing children's fundamental movement skills through coach education.
Why STEPS?
Every child learns to move at their own pace. When children have the chance to run, jump, balance, throw and catch through play and well-designed exercises, they develop skills that help them take part in sport and everyday activities more safely and with greater confidence.
STEPS – Small feet, big steps helps coaches make these first steps high-quality and accessible to all children. The project provides a practical handbook, video demonstrations of exercises and training focused on developing fundamental movement skills. It gives coaches ideas on how to adapt exercises to children's age, abilities and needs, including children with developmental difficulties.
Our goal is simple: to create a sports environment in which every child can take part, make progress and enjoy movement.
