The goal is to make sport safer for children and the vulnerable sector. Although advances in athlete protection in the past twenty years have decreased instances of athlete maltreatment in amateur sport, incidents of athlete abuse, harassment by coaches, and risks to athlete safety have continued to occur.
Long Term Athletic Development
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 ringette players, dancers, figure skaters or gymnasts. Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) describes the things athletes need to be doing at specific ages and stages.
The St. Albert Ringette Association uses the LTAD model for the development of our athletes. For more information, check out the Canadian Sport for Life website or read the LTAD for Parents document below.
Concussion Information
The concussion e-learning course "Making Headway in Sport" from coach.ca is being offered for free. Designed to help you gain the knowledge and skills required to ensure the safety of your athletes, these NCCP Professional Development modules cover:
what to do to prevent concussions,
how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a concussion,
what to do when you suspect an athlete has a concussion,
and how to ensure athletes return to play safely.
The sport-specific modules offer coaches scenarios specific to their sport, while the general sports module will suit all other coaches.
