3 LONG-TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT Better athletes, Better BaseBall players What is LTAD? Human development from birth to adulthood is a continuous process. To understand the process better, experts divide human development into distinct stages with specific characteristics; these are called stages of development. In Canada, sport and recreational research has identified seven stages of development, each with its own physical, mental, emotional and cognitive characteristics. This is our Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, and it s the basis for the optimal training and competition kids need to enjoy sport the most and perform their best. Why do we need the LTAD model? Because participation in recreational sport and physical activity has been declining and physical education programs in schools are being marginalized. Because NOT matching skills and activities to a stage of development has serious negative consequences, and Canadians and the Canadian sport system have been suffering from them for some time. To mention just a few of them: Children don t have fun; They develop bad habits because of the over-emphasis on winning; Their skill development is poor; They don t reach their optimal performance level; Many burn out and drop out of sport. For more information on Long Term Athlete Development go to Goldeyes Coach Symposium Saturday, May 26 Day to Include: NCCP (Initiation) Clinic Lunch with Andrew Collier guest speaker Derek McLennan - Strength and Conditioning Tom Vaeth - Game Day Preperation Observe Batting Practice Box seats for the Goldeyes game BASEBALL MANITOBA 50 th Anniversary Amateur Baseball Day Saturday, June 9, will be Amateur Baseball Day in Manitoba.

9 RESPECT IN Sport Manitoba and Baseball Manitoba believe in SPORT being proactive in ensuring sport in our province is safe and welcoming for all participants. Respect in Sport helps us promote those values through a simple and convenient on-line training course for coaches and sport leaders. It is designed as a tool to assist coaches in identifying and dealing with abuse, neglect, harassment, and bullying in sport. Respect in Sport enables coaches to deal with legal and moral responsibilities, making them less vulnerable and more confident in dealing with sensitive issues. A risk management tool, Respect in Sport will help sport organizations reduce liability. As a mandatory Sport Manitoba requirement, all coaches from all sports (that means every Rally Cap, Grand Slam, A, AA and AAA baseball coach) must have the Respect in Sport course completed by May 15 of the calendar year they are coaching, or their name will be removed from the roster. If you completed your Respect in Sport for coaches over 5 years ago and you are required by Sport Manitoba to recertify with the new two and a half hour Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders course as part of your requirements of being a coach in Manitoba. Recertification was always a requirement of the program but has not been available until now. If your address on your Respect in Sport profile is correct and hasn t changed, you should have aor will be recieving an from the Respect in Sport group letting you know you need to recertify or certificate will no longer be active. All coaches should check their Respect in Sport to make sure their number is still valid. NOTE: The hockey parent Respect in Sport is not valid for a baseball coach. The Respect in Sport group has updated and enhanced the Respect in Sport for coaches with a new platform.
