Sport for Life is proud to release the revised Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity 3.0 resource document. Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity is a framework for the development of every child, youth, and adult to enable optimal participation in sport and physical activity. This third edition brings a number of important updates and enhancements.
Despite an unwavering belief that every child is born an athlete, Sport for Life, in consultation with 50 of their leading champions, has chosen to call this resource Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity for these reasons:
- To maintain focus on the key idea that development is a process that takes time, and that sport and physical activity should look very different, based on the individual’s stage of development.
- To reinforce the idea that long-term development is important both in sport performance and for life-long engagement in physical activity for health.
- To broaden the focus. Effective development requires the alignment of ALL parts of the Canadian sport and physical activity ecosystem, from community programming through to targeted high performance sport excellence, and this involves far more than just sport organizations.
