Why should children play multiple sports?
[Excerpts from the Player Development Program (PDP) website]
Playing multiple sports is also a great way to increase physical literacy and develop the fundamental movement skills that are essential to playing all sports and key to maintaining a good standard of mobility. To develop these skills, kids need to practice a range of different movement patterns, and the best way to do this is to play an array of different sports.
According to PDP, “research shows that early participation in multiple sports leads to better overall motor and athletic development, longer playing careers, [and] increased ability to transfer skills to other sports.
“Having kids play other sports, it’s very important,' “Without it, you could get very limited mobility and athletic development. Encouragement of kids to play other sports in the off-season. Go and experiment and play other things.”
Different sports also give kids a chance to enjoy new experiences, and valuable opportunities to be active in an age where ‘street sports’ and other free-play sports are frequently impeded by things like video games and the prohibition of ball games in public spaces.

TESTIMONIALS

Ian, I know brother, believe it or not, I learnt a lot from you Ian, your part of the reason why I’m still involved with the game mate, if I were in Queensland, I’d be with you all the way mate 👊🏽 good luck brother. Gavin N (Community Coach)

Have watched Ian at games, training, Even beside him as a spectator and I have found he has a unique & different way of seeing things, things I don’t see. I put this down to the fact of the vast experience he has had as a referee, trainer, sports trainer and a coach. This gives him an outlook on his training and coaching methods that’s different to others. John S. (Father, supporter)

Thank you IRB Performance for helping my 15yon son become faster and stronger. He added a metre to his pace and was able to bust through tackles thanks to your tutoring and training. He enjoyed the variety of your training that helped him to reach where he needed to go. Again, thanks Ian. Harry (Father)
