​

Following LTPD Model by Canada Soccer, WHAT IS LTPD (Long-Term Player Development)?

​

LTPD is a model of athlete development that parallels what doctors and psychologists have

long used to better understand human development: as a series of distinct stages that take us

from infancy to adulthood. A person’s abilities, behaviours, emotions, and

understanding of the world around them varies from stage to stage.

• Similarly, experts in sports science have identified several stages of development — each

with its own physical and psychological characteristics —that form the basis for LTPD.

When young soccer players can train and compete in an environment appropriate to their

development stage, they perform at their best and have more fun.

• Calgary City FC sessions are delivered by trained, certified and knowledgeable technical
