Physical Literacy.
Nor'West Micro Program 2014
Physical Literacy.
I attended the Canadian Sport for Life Summit in January (2013) and learned a great deal about our kids.
We feel it’s important to embed Physical Literacy into our program because we want to give kids the best we can for the time we have them…
…because a lack of Physical Literacy…
…is becoming the new Tobacco.

Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) is a movement to make sport and activity better and more fun for our kids.
The goal of CS4L is to focus on the best interests of kids, and not on the goals of coaches or parents who may simply want to win at all costs.
CS4L has developed LTAD in response.
Micro Program 2014
“A clear path to better sport, greater health, and higher achievement.
Children, youth and adults need to do the right things at the right time to develop in their sport or activity – whether they want to be hockey players, dancers, figure skaters or gymnasts. Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) describes the things athletes need to be doing at specific ages and stages.”
CS4L
Micro Program 2014
“Children who do not develop their fundamental motor skills by age 12 are unlikely
to reach their genetic athletic potential. A lack of fundamental motor skills may mean
the difference between a day on the couch and a day at the soccer pitch…”

Better understanding of what makes a good soccer program.
More players learning at their level and having fun.
Appropriate game and league structures (e.g. size of balls, goals, field etc.).
More opportunity for players to realize their athletic potential.
More coaches who are knowledgeable in leading safe, effective practices.
Nor'West Micro Program 2014
Information and education on effective coaching and practice methods.Guidelines for appropriate game structures.Guidelines on appropriate competition levels.Established pathways for player development for all levels of ability and ambition.Affirmation of best practices for coaches and club administrators.
Nor'West Micro Program 2014
Competitive behaviour is fostered in players, while over-competitive behaviour is discouraged in adults (e.g. coaches and parents).
Players, parents, coaches, and administrators understand that players are unique and therefore different in interest and aptitude.
Players stay involved in the sport throughout their lives (as players, coaches, referees or club administrators).
Soccer grows, and lifelong wellness is promoted for players of all ages, genders, and levels of ability and disability.
New focus on Canadian Sport for Life’s physical literacy prog.
Higher player coach ratio
Age appropriate techniques
Small sided games
Shortened session time
Nor'West Micro Program 2014
Coaches run small sided games 3v.3 or 4v.4 (without goalie positions) for 12min. segments, supervised weekly by OSA trained club reps.Coaches will work with players on Active Startskills as recommended by CS4L’s LTAD plan; Jumping, running & twisting using ball drills.Players will be grouped by development phase.Fair Play focus; No scores or standings will be kept.

The Small Sided Game is a developmentally appropriate environment that focuses on the player.
Small Sided games are simple, can be played with limited adult involvement and are FUN!
Nor'West Micro Program 2014
Micro Program 2014
Players touch the ball more often and
become more skilful with it
(individual technical development).
Micro Program 2014
Players make more, less-
complicated decisions during the game
(tactical development).
Micro Program 2014
Players become more physically efficient in the
field space they are playing in
(reduced field size).
Micro Program 2014
Players have more individual teaching time with
the coach. Less players on the field and less
players on the team will guarantee this
(need to feel worthy and need to feel
important).
Micro Program 2014
Players have more, involved playing time in the
game (more opportunity to solve problems that
only game scenarios present).
Micro Program 2014
Players have more opportunity to play on
both sides of the ball
(more exposure to attacking and defending
scenarios).
Micro Program 2014
Players have more opportunities to score goals
(pure excitement)!
Micro Program 2014
Improved focus
Kept fun - not exhausting.
Fewer miserable kids leaving = more kids playing
Happy to come back = more physical literacy
