Skating for Life.

Adapted from Sport for Life’s Long-Term Development in Sport and Physical Activity, Skate Canada’s Long-Term Development (LTD) resource provides a framework for the development of every athlete to enable their optimal participation in skating. This resource was designed to recognize that every participant progresses, learns, matures, and masters skills at a different rate with a focus on holistic development and developing the human alongside the athlete. The objective is to promote both sporting excellence at all stages of development and life-long engagement in physical activity and health.

Long-Term Development (LTD) Tool

To enable all our members to reach their full potential, Skate Canada has developed an LTD resource tool covering every discipline and level in skating, including a ‘how-to’ technical and tactical video library which includes training and competition guidelines to support Star and Podium pathway participants.
