Multiskill Academy

MSAs are specifically aimed at young people aged 8-12 years old who have been identified as gifted and talented. They create a multi-skills environment which develops the young person’s agility, balance, co-ordination, body awareness and thinking core skills and are designed to bridge the transition from primary to secondary school. The activities are non-sport specific and are based around the development of fundamental movement and sport skills.

The objectives of Multi-skill Academies are to:

• ensure tracking of gifted and talented young people from primary to secondary education; ensure tracking of gifted and talented young people

• improve the way schools recognise gifted and talented young people

• challenge and develop multi-skill abilities in gifted and talented young people; challenge and develop multi-skill abilities in gifted clubs

• provide guidance and signposting to local sport sclubs

From an evaluation of Multi-skill Academies conducted in 2007 the majority of participants (>78 per cent) and parents (>87 per cent) felt that they had learned new skills and improved their existing skills at a Multi-skill Academy.
