LTAD Principles • Concerns with current sport systems: • Young athletes under-train & over-compete • Inappropriate competition schedule is superimposed on young athletes • 5 Reasons EN introduced LTAD: • Guide planning for optimal performance of athletes in order for England Netballers to be the best they can be • Eliminate gaps in the current Netball development pathway • Establish a clear Netball development pathway • Realign and integrate the programmes for developing Netball athletes and Netball in England • Provide a planning tool, based on scientific research and empirical evidence for coaches and administrators
Change of focus from counties • Every child attends school, so we need to invest in schools competition framework • Sporting ethos towards club development; underpinned by Sport England Funding • EN Senior competition structure is clubs based, junior structure needs to mirror it • LTAD principles vital for young players to achieve their potential • County competition was too much on top of school & club • Aim for league competition with longer matches, rather than short tournament matches
