long term athlete development

Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is a revolutionary approach designed to help athletes reach elite levels and encourage a healthy lifelong participation in sport. It promotes physical activity at a young age in a fun and varied environment, teaching multi-skills through various sports. The approach encourages the long term development of young athletes, whether or not they go on to train to compete and specialise in a particular field. 
 
LTAD is not purely about producing elite athletes, but ensuring everyone is exposed to the correct types of training at the right stage in their development to help them on their way to life long participation in sport and physical activity.
