Nor'West Soccer LTPD 101
The document discusses the importance of physical literacy and long-term athlete development (LTAD) for children's sports programs. It summarizes the Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) approach of focusing on children's development over competition. The Nor'West Micro Program has revamped its mini field programs based on CS4L's LTAD model to emphasize fun, fundamental movement skills, and appropriate training for children's developmental stages through small-sided games. The goal is to improve physical literacy and lifelong participation in sports.

- 3. Physical Literacy. Iattended the Canadian Sport for Life Summit in January (2013) and learned a great deal about our kids. We feel it’s important to embed Physical Literacy into our program because we want to give kids the best we can for the time we have them… …because a lack of Physical Literacy… …is becoming the new Tobacco.

The goal of CS4L is to focus on the best interests of kids, and not on the goals of coaches or parents who may simply want to win at all costs. CS4L has developed LTAD in response. Micro Program 2014
- 8. “A clear pathto better sport, greater health, and higher achievement. Children, youth and adults need to do the right things at the right time to develop in their sport or activity – whether they want to be hockey players, dancers, figure skaters or gymnasts. Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) describes the things athletes need to be doing at specific ages and stages.” CS4L Micro Program 2014

Players, parents, coaches, and administrators understand that players are unique and therefore different in interest and aptitude. Players stay involved in the sport throughout their lives (as players, coaches, referees or club administrators). Soccer grows, and lifelong wellness is promoted for players of all ages, genders, and levels of ability and disability. Nor'West Micro Program 2014
