  3. Why have an LTAD process? • 10 year or 10,000 hour rule (Ericsson & Charness, 1994 and Salmela et al.,1999) • This translates to slightly more than 3 hours of deliberate practice daily for 10 years

  4. A Sporting Future for All • To ensure that every member of our society is offered opportunity and encouragement to play, lead and manage sport. • This means opening up new possibilities - and improving existing ones - at all stages of life, in school, in local authority facilities, in clubs, in representative squads and in international competitions.

  5. Critical factors for Success of the Young person To achieve players potential: • Quality School provision / experience of sporting provision • Quality Learn community provision through Local Authorities and Clubs • Facilities which are: • Accessible (and at appropriate times) • Affordable • Quality and committed to servicing the needs of the athlete • Quality Teachers and Coaches who are appropriately qualified and committed to CPD • Appropriate levels of competition • A progressive structure of Rugby Development opportunities appropriate to age and stage of ability • A fully integrated talent identification programme

  6. What do the experts say? • There are optimal “trainability windows” for young performers • These windows are often missed due to: • Over-competing and under training • ‘Outcome’ focused competition • Adult programmes imposed on young performers • Development programmes based on chronological rather than biological age

  7. Key “Trainability windows” • Strength training - 12-18 months after growth spurt • Aerobic training - just after growth spurt • Speed training – between ages 6-9 and 14-16

  8. FUNdamental (age 6-10) • FUN & participation in many sports • Key skill development stage • Develop running, jumping, throwing, agility, balance, co-ordination & speed skills

  9. Training to train (age 10-14) • Monitor growth & development • Sport specific conditioning • Technique & body weight resistance training • Develop sport specific skills & tactics

  10. Train to compete (age 14-18) • Individualised conditioning planned around growth spurt • Sport specific technical skills under competitive conditions • Advanced tactical preparations • Mental preparation & sport specific performance preparation

  11. Training to win (age 18+) • ‘Adult’ training regimes • Optimisation of technical, tactical and skill performance in competition • Frequent physical & mental breaks • All aspects of training individualised
