OUTDOOR SPACE

When choosing large outside equipment, purchase items suitable for a variety of ages and abilities. You want outdoor play equipment and spaces that are challenging but not hazardous for any child regardless of ability or age. This will allow your program to accommodate any child now or in the future.

Purchasing smaller outside equipment seems to be a simple matter, but you must consider all the children in your program. For example, a variety of sizes and weights of bats are needed for playing baseball. What a ten-year-old can lift and swing is very different from what a five-year-old can use safely. Soccer balls, footballs, and basketballs all come in a variety of sizes. Purchasing one of each size allows all children to play successfully. To help children who have not played basketball or football before, purchase balls with hand placement guides so children learn to hold the ball correctly.
