Workshop outcomes
By the end of the workshop, coaches should be able to:• establish safe and effective coaching environments
to meet the needs of children and young people• describe the LTAD model• identify the critical periods of trainability within the
LTAD model• describe the acquisition of skills as children
develop• modify coaching to meet the needs of children and
young people
Coaching Children and Young PeopleOHT 1
Information required• Social/psychological factors
– motivation, needs, ambitions, attitudes, behaviour
• Physical factors– ability, fitness, stage of physical development
• Skill factors– stage of motor development, information
processing
Coaching Children and Young PeopleOHT 2
Principles of coaching children and young people
Coaching Children and Young People
• Make it fun
• Avoid specialising too early
• Put performer first
OHT 3
Principles of LTAD
Coaching Children and Young People
• Athlete-centred
• Promote long-term participation
• Maximise full potential
OHT 4
LTAD modelStage 1: FUNdamentals
Coaching Children and Young People
Age Key Points
6-8 (girls)/
6-9 (boys)
• Performers need to sample wide range of fun and creative activities
• No sport-specific specialisation• Emphasis on development of basic motor
skills, not competition• Parents involved and supportive• Tasks/groups set by biological rather than
chronological age• Speed, power and endurance developed
using fun games• No periodization
OHT 5
LTAD modelStage 2: Learning to Train
Age Key Points
8-11 (girls)/9-12 (boys)
• Performers begin to apply basic skills and fitness to preferred activities
• Performers begin to reduce number of sports/activities
• Emphasis on learning how to train, not on outcome, but element of competition introduced (eg 25% of training programme)
OHT 6
LTAD modelStage 3: Training to Train
Age Key Points
11-14 (girls)/12-15 (boys)
• Individualised programmes based on PHVs• Teams split into groups of early, average
and late maturers• Girls and boys may begin to train separately• Regular height checks to identify key
periods for maximum training benefit and avoid injuries
• Regular medical monitoring and musculo-skeletal screening
• Excessive, repetitive, weight-bearing aerobic work should be avoided – non-weight-bearing exercises recommended
OHT 7
Summary of LTAD
Coaching Children and Young People
• Acknowledges different development rates
• Development of individual programmes
• Uses critical periods of trainability
OHT 8
Developing skill
Recognising:• ability to process information• reaction time (neural development)• body control• coordination
Coaching Children and Young PeopleOHT 9
Stages of learning
Coaching Children and Young People
Stage 1Cognitive
Stage 2Associative
Stage 3Autonomous
Children just getting to grips with how limbs coordinate to
perform action
Children now have to think less about movement and can
shift attention to adapting
movement to conditions
Children have mastered full
movement – it is consistent,
dynamic and fluent
Coaches should encourage
performers to focus on external cues
relating to outcome rather than process
Coaches should provide good,
effective feedback to help children
alter movements
Coaches should delay feedback to allow children to
identify and correct own errors
OHT 10
Physical literacy
• ABCs:Agility, balance, coordination, speed
• RJT:Run, jump, throw
• KGBs:Kinesthesia, gliding, buoyancy, striking
• CPKs:Catching, passing, kicking, striking
