Young athletes will learn primary skills and techniques like running, jumping, throwing, and catching. They will then learn to combine these skills like running and throwing, running and jumping, catching, and running.
After a while, they will start to develop complex skills that will further aid in reducing the risk of injury and improving performance.
As the young athlete develops increased physical capabilities, the athlete will be able to express the skills they have! The athlete becomes more physically literate!
Research has also shown that the inability to catch will reduce a child’s confidence so much that it can deter the child from taking part in over 40 different activities!
Our goal is to strengthen the community through the development of youth athletes with an emphasis on athletics, wellness, and academic excellence.
8 Keys To Successful, Long-term Athletic Development:
- Long-term athletic development programs should accommodate for the highly individualized and non-linear nature of the
growth and development of youth. - Youth of all ages, abilities, and aspirations should engage in long-term athletic development programs that promote both
physical fitness and psychosocial well-being. - All youth should be encouraged to enhance physical fitness from early childhood, with a primary focus on motor skill and
muscular strength development. - The health and well-being of the youth athlete should always be the central component of a long-term athletic development
program. - The youth athlete should participate in physical activities that help reduce the risk of injury to ensure their on-going
participation in sports. - The youth athlete will be provided with a range of training modes to enhance both health and skill-related components of
fitness. - the youth athlete will be consistently monitored and assessed using relevant tools as a part of a long-term physical development
strategy. - The program of the youth athlete will be individualized, systematically, and pedagogically progressed for successful short and long term athletic development.
