Long-Term Athlete Development
1) What is the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model?
2) What are the goals of the LTAD?
3) Description 4) Roles, Implementation and Questions
What is the LTAD?
• The LTAD is a “general framework of athlete development with special reference to growth, maturation and development, trainability and sport system alignment.” • So what does all this mean?
What are the goals of the LTAD?
1) Provide quality training and competition that considers developmental age and critical periods of trainability 2) Provide a common curriculum 3) Properly prepares individuals by giving them physical literacy skills needed for life-long physical activity 4) Provide appropriate pathways for athletes to choose from 5) Provide a means to align recreation, competition, school sports and PE
Description
Awareness
• These are the different ways that people learn about our game • They can include everything from stories in the media to PSA’s to one on one contacts
First Contact/Recruitment
• These programs are try it out programs where people come and get in a sports wheelchair for the first time • The key element here is that a person gets a chance to try the sport out • You need personal contact and you need follow up
Active Start
• There are two types of athletes we are going to address-Early Entry and Late Entry • For Early Entry, the individuals are 0-6 years old • For Late Entry, the individuals are 0 plus years post acquisition • Learn fundamental movements and link them to physical activity/play
FUNdamentals
• Emphasis is on using fun and games that use basketball to teach fundamental movements and basic basketball skills • Early Entry athletes are 6-8 years old for females and 6-9 years old for males • Late Entry athletes are 0-2 years post acquisition • Skills are basic wheelchair skills and basic basketball skills
Learn to Train (L2T)
• Fundamentals are still important, but we begin to emphasize basketball skills • Early Entry athletes are 8-11 for females and 9 12 for males • Late Entry athletes are 1-2 years post acquisition • Use basic skills in more game-like situations
Train to Train (T2T)
• The goal is to introduce technical skills and strategies used to develop a well-rounded player and increase the structure around training • Early Entry athletes are 11-15 years old for females and 12-16 years old for males • Late Entry athletes are 2-5 years post acquisition
Train to Compete (T2C)
• At the end of this level, a player should have almost all of the technical skills and they will start to specialize • Early Entry athletes are 15-18 for females and 16-18 for males • Late Entry athletes are 4/5 years post acquisition • Athletes learn how to compete in any situation at this stage as they refine their skills
Learn to Win (L2W)
• Establish all the technical, physical, tactical and mental skills needed to compete at the highest level • Early Entry athletes are 18-23 for females and 18-25 for males • Late Entry athletes are 4/5 years post acquisition • Athletes have been introduced to specialization and strategies and have specific training plans
Train to Win (T2W)
• The goal at this level is to achieve a high level of performance nationally and internationally • Early Entry athletes are 23 years plus for females and 25 years plus for males • Late Entry athletes are 5 years plus • Athletes are working on refinement of skills and creativity and training plans are highly personalized
Active for Life
• Up to L2T, the athletes have been learning skills and in a non-competitive environment • After L2T, athletes stream into two tracts, T2T or Active for Life • Active for Life is for those athletes whose goal is recreation and using the skills of physical literacy across the lifespan • Competitive Recreation allows late maturing athletes an avenue to get back into high performance sport if they desire
