    Study Notes

    NCCP Coach Workbook: Sport Program Design

    • One National Program (Canada): Unified system for all sports.
    • Three Streams: Community Sport, Competition, Instruction
    • Five Core Competencies: Problem-solving, Valuing, Critical Thinking, Leading, Interacting
    • Seven Outcomes: Designing programs, managing competition and other key coaching skills are assessed.

    Long-Term Athlete Development (LTD)

    • Definition: Considers athletes' developmental stages for appropriate training/competition.
    • Prepuberty: Focus on agility and balance.
    • Puberty: Skill refinement and strength building take priority.
    • Reflection: Coaches assess participant characteristics (skill, maturity) for effective grouping.

    Participant Entry Points

    • New to training: Beginners in the sport.
    • Multisport participants: Involved in several different sports.
    • Seasoned competitors: Experienced athletes.

    Skills and Abilities

    • Skills: Sport-specific technical/tactical abilities (e.g., passing in soccer).
    • Abilities: General athletic traits like speed, strength, coordination.

    Physical Abilities

    • Speed: Segmental (e.g., wrist movements) and whole-body (e.g., sprinting).
    • Stamina: Aerobic capacity (e.g., marathon), speed endurance (high-intensity sprints).
    • Strength: Core stability (e.g., balance beam), power (e.g., weightlifting).

    Mental Skills

    • Attentional control: Focus amidst distractions (e.g., goalie tuning out crowd noise).
    • Emotional control: Managing anxiety/frustration (e.g., tennis player coping with a lost set).

    Training Objectives

    • Seasonal Objectives: Skill development, fitness, tactical development.
    • Examples of Objectives:
      • Skill: Teaching a new technique (e.g., basketball dribbling).
      • Fitness: Improving endurance or flexibility.
      • Tactical: Developing game strategy.

    Levels of Skill Development

    • Acquire: Learning a new skill.
    • Consolidate: Practicing until consistent.
    • Refine: Making small adjustments for perfection.

    Program Setup

    • Program Setup: Defines start and end dates, accounting for holidays.
    • Training Periods: Preparation (build skills/fitness), Competition (focus on performance), Transition (recovery).
    • Training Emphasis: "Red" for development, "Blue" for maintenance, "Yellow" for refinement.

    Practice Plans

    • Structure: Warm-up, main activity (drills or scrimmages), cool-down.
    • Link to Program Goals: Practice activities align with program objectives.

    Reflection and Adjustments

    • Program Alignment: Assess alignment with LTD principles.
    • Issues & Solutions: Address problems like insufficient preparation or overloaded schedules with solutions.
    • Emphasis: Programs adapt to phases (development, maintenance, refinement).

    Developmental Considerations (Expanded)

    • Puberty Variability: Onset and duration vary; early/late developers need different adaptations. Impact on training.
    • Physical Literacy: Fundamentally important for lifelong activity, emphasized in multi-sport programs.

    Athletic Abilities (Expanded)

    • Flexibility: Range of motion, critical considerations; both static stretches & dynamic are important.

    Objectives (Expanded)

    • Types: General (fun, participation) and Specific (skill, fitness)
    • Principles: Adaptation, overload, specificity.

    Speed Development (Expanded)

    • Intensity and Recovery: Short, intense efforts with ample rest.
    • Specificity: Crucial for targeting relevant skills.

    Strength Development (Expanded)

    • Types: Maximum strength, strength endurance.

    Flexiblity Training (Expanded)

    • Methods: Static stretches (20-30 sec), dynamic stretches (integrating flexibility with movement).

    Periodization (Expanded)

    • Definition/Purpose: Divides the year into phases (preparation, competition, transition).
    • Examples of Phases: Preparation focus on building base skills and fitness, Competition focuses on competition-specific skill development and fine tuning, Transition involves recovery.

    Warm-up (Expanded)

    • Purpose: Gradual preparation to prevent injury.
    • Example: Includes jogging, dynamic stretches, and sport-specific drills.

    Practice Planning Considerations

    • Matching Activities to Athlete Development: Different activities are appropriate for different athletes in relation to their abilities.
