Ball handling with hands in preschool age

Rastom i razvojem djetetova sposobnost smislenog korištenja vlastitog tijela u prostoru, odnosno motorika, postaje sve bolja. Dijete sve skladnije koristi vlastito tijelo za kretanje, ali i za baratanje predmetima. U svakodnevnim dječjim aktivnostima i igrama kao najčešći rekvizit nameće se lopta. U skladu s time, u kineziološkim aktivnostima lopta je izvrsno pomagalo za rad, a savladavanje motoričkih znanja za baratanje loptom čini odličan temelj za mnoge sportove. U procesu savladavanja motoričkih znanja baratanja loptom djeca prolaze kroz početno, prijelazno i završno razdoblje usvajanja znanja. U ovome je radu objašnjen tijek usvajanja motoričkih znanja kotrljanja, hvatanja, bacanja i vođenja lopte kroz navedena razdoblja. Pod pretpostavkom da je igra temeljna aktivnost djetinjstva koja predstavlja izvrstan alat da razvoj motoričkih vještina, autorica predlaže aktivnosti i igre s loptom koje će pridonijeti razvoju biotičkih motoričkih znanja baratanja s loptom rukama.With growth and development the child's ability to properly use it's own body in space, in other words it's motor skills, become better and better.
