Sports NZ Physical Literacy

Physical literacy is “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding required by participants that allows them to value and take responsibility for engaging in physical activity and sport for life.

Sport NZ’s Physical Literacy Approach is relevant across all ages, recognising and responding to the needs of a participant as they change throughout life. Babies, children, young people, adults and seniors can all be participating in physical activity and sport in a variety of ways and in a variety of places.
