Long-Term Athlete Development for Parents

Many parents are looking for answers to explain what is right for their child when it comes to athletic development. As a coach, you need something that will help explain the facts in an easy, accurate, and user-friendly manner. The CAC, in coordination with Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L), created the document: “Long-Term Athlete Development Information for Parents” to help coaches educate the parents of the children in their programs.

A note from Alex Chiet (OSA  Chief Technical Officer) with an overview for 2012 and beyond:

Update on LTPD - Alex Cheit Sep 21, 2011

The Board of Directors of the Ontario Soccer Association unanimously endorsed the OSA Technical Advisory Council plan for the phased-in implementation of Long-Term Player Development (LTPD).

This was a “key step” in our efforts to introduce this important initiative across the province. It means, in simple terms, that the Presidents of every District in Ontario have given their personal stamp of approval to LTPD.
