Understanding physical literacy is an important first step, but knowing how to assess and measure it can help coaches, educators, recreation professionals and sport organizations better understand the needs of their participants and support their development.

The Physical Literacy Assessment workshop provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to administer, score and interpret the Physical Literacy Assessment for Youth (PLAY) tools. Participants will explore how the PLAY Tools can be used in sport-specific settings and gain a better understanding of how assessment results can inform programming and participant development.
