Sports Development Continuum

P1 describe one-third examples of the fluctuations waxment continuum, from three different delights M1 compargon and contrast three examples of the sports development continuum, from three different sports, identifying strengths and beas for improvement Sports Development Continuum tush means the early development of sporting competence and physical aptitudes (e. g. throwing, catching, and hand-eye co-ordination) upon which all later forms of sports development are based.Without a sound embedation, young people are unlikely to become long-term sports caseicipants. Participation refers to sport undertaken primarily for fun, exercise and often, at basic directs of competence. However, more very competent sports people take part in sport purely for reasons of fun and health & fitness. Performance signifies a prompt from basic competence into a more structured form of competitive sport at nine or county level, or indeed at an individual level for personal reasons.Excellenc e is about reaching the result and applies to performers at the highest field of study and international levels The Golf Foundation reports that its adapted and competitive golf offering for nurtures is proving a big get with teachers and pupils. The Foundations HSBC Golf Roots programme in schools is gathering significant momentum in 2013, as 39 out of 46 County Local Organising Committees pick out selected an HSBC Golf Roots competition for the veritable academic year as part of Englands School Games curriculum.This high proportion is second hardly to athletics, and ahead of traditional school sports such as football, cricket and topball. Participation refers to sport undertaken primarily for fun, enjoyment and often, at basic levels of competence. However, many very competent sports people take part in sport purely for reasons of fun and health & fitness. An example for participation would be SNAG golf. Performance signifies a move from basic competence into a more struct ured form of competitive sport at club or county level, or indeed at an individual level for personal reasons.Elite is about reaching the top and applies to performers at the highest national and international levels. Football Development Centres These centres can be found in 70 colleges across the country for players who are in a higher place aver geezerhood to compete with players of a resembling ability. Here they work in an environment with people who can develop their progression to achieve their highest level of performance. Once players have reached a certain level according to the coaches they can be recomm hold oned to a school of excellence or academy. Players can attend these centres by invitation only.They would have normally taken part in a Local Football Development Scheme activity in the past. Liverpool Football Club have a talent development scheme starting from their under 10s going up to under 19s. UNDER 10-age of fun. UNDER 12-age of technique. UNDER 14-age of u nderstanding. UNDER 16-age of competitive match play. UNDER 19-age of professional zeal. This is similar to the Long-term athlete development models devised by Istvan Balyi in 1990 following his work with the Canadian alpine Ski team in the 1980s.This was designed to help prepare players to reach the highest levels. It takes about 10 days of learn to develop an elite athlete however they dont need to train for 10 years in one sport. The LTAD state that playing more than one sport over the 10 years is part of the programme. This programme has 6 phases to it. It also helps prepare people for retirement to the sport. These 6 phases are then split into 3 areas heading what the athlete should be able to do at the end of the phase Content the activities contained within the phase relative frequency how often the athlete should train during the phase. Phase one- fundamentals Objective to learn fundamental movement skills. Content overall development, focusing on ABCS (agility, balanc e, coordination, speed) to brook the generic skills used in many sports (running, jumping and throwing). Frequency perform physical activity cinque to six times per week. Phase two- Learning to Train Objective to learn fundamental sports skills Content intentness on the range of FUNdamental sports skills, such as throwing, catching, jumping and running Introduction to readiness beingness mentally and physically prepared Basic FUNdamentals tactics, e. g. if fielding, net/wall, invasion games can be introduced. (In net/wall games, players achieve this by sending a ball towards a court or scar area which their opponent is defending. The aim is to get the ball to land in the target area and desexualize it difficult for the opponent to return it) Cognitive and emotional development are central Skills are expert in challenging formatsFrequency if there is a favoured sport it is suggested 50% of the time is allocated to other sport/activities that develop a range of skills. Phase t hree Training to Train Objective to build fitness and particular proposition sport skills Fitness training Detailed mental preparation A focus on sport-specific skill development, including perceptual skills (reading the game/tactical understanding Decision making Detailed and extensive evaluation Frequency for the aspiring performer, sport-specific practice will now be 6-9 times a week Phase 4 Training to CompeteObjective to refine skills for a specific event or position Content Event and position-specific training Physical conditioning Technical and tactical preparation Advanced mental practice All of the above come together and are developed under competition conditions Frequency training can be up to 12 times a week Phase 5 Training to Win Objective to maximise performance in competition Content Development and refinement of all the skills learnt already however with more use in competition modelling.More attention paid to rest periods and the prevention of injury referable to heavier load. Frequency training can be up to 15 times a week (some sports may stop at this phase as this is the highest competitive level) Phase 6 Retainment For athletes/players retiring from competitive sport, many sports are developing Masters programmes. An additional phase, retainment, keeps players/athletes involved in physical activity. Experience gained as a competitor can be invaluable, should they move into administration, coaching or officiating.
