6 CENTRE FOR INCLUSIVE SPORT DEVELOPMENT Families joining Variety Village demonstrate their commitment to activity and the importance of exercise on a daily basis. Alongside programs available for parents, we offer recreational and aquatics programs for children that create new connections, foster fundamental movement skills and teach basic sport skills. Our goal is to promote physical activity in an environment that is inclusive. INTRODUCING PHYSICAL LITERACY TO YOUR INFANT OR TODDLER Parents and children can register for a number of early morning/ early afternoon programs in the fieldhouse or pool. The activities are designed to foster social play and connections for children and friendships for the parents. Kids under three years are free. GETTING ACTIVE WITH CHILDREN IN MOTION Programs for children three to six years of age. In the fieldhouse and in the pool, we introduce children to fundamental movement in an environment that is fun, inclusive and interactive. NOT SURE WHICH SPORT YOUR CHILD IS INTERESTED IN PURSUING? As children transition out of our Children in Motion classes and show an interest in sport, Variety Village offers Multi-sport classes on land and Red Cross swim programs in water. These classes introduce, and help to foster, sport skills. Throughout the 11-week program, coaches from our teams will guest teach, introducing simple sport specific skills. This gives children the opportunity to experience each of the sports we offer at Variety Village. For children five years and older. INTRODUCTION TO SPORT This program suits children who have mastered basic fundamental movement skills through the Children in Motion and/or Multi-sport classes. If your child has an interest in participating in a specific sport on land or in water, Variety Village offers eight introduction to sport teams including wheelchair basketball, weightlifting, track, swimming, synchronized swimming, Taekwondo and VOLT Hockey. Coaches facilitating the programs follow a teaching model that focuses on age, stage and development under the Canadian Sport for Life Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD). At this level, children are introduced to the ABC s of sport: agility, balance and coordination, in an environment that is athletecentered, fun, safe and inclusive. For children five years or older. VARIETY VILLAGE ATHLETIC CLUBS Youngsters who have excelled in the grassroots programs and are interested in competition will transition towards the Athletic Clubs, where the focus is on competition following the LTAD model. At this level youngsters are required to commit to yearlong training schedules, competitions and camps within the region, province and country.
