Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) is a movement to improve the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada. CS4L links sport, education, recreation and health and aligns community, provincial and national programming.
Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is a seven-stage training, competition and recovery pathway guiding an individual’s experience in sport and physical activity from infancy through all phases of adulthood. CS4L, with LTAD, represents a paradigm shift in the way Canadians lead and deliver sport and physical activity in Canada.
At Bill Crothers Secondary School, Long Term Athlete Development philosophy is a driving influence in many areas of health and physical education and our extra-curricular programming.
CS4L has released its second version of the national LTAD guide.
Each National Sport Organization (NSO) has compiled a sport specific LTAD guide for all involved with their sport. NSO websites can be found through a National Sport Organization directory on the Government of Canada website.
