Long Term Player Development (LTPD)

With LTPD as the guide, the OSA Coaching Department has launched new online resources for coaches working at all levels of the game in Ontario. Under CSA leadership, LTPD can provide the framework for high-quality programs that ensure enjoyable lifelong playing opportunities for players of all levels of ability, as well as development pathways for elite players who pursue excellence.

As it is implemented, LTPD will have a broad influence on soccer across Canada. It will positively impact Coaching Education Programs at all levels of our game and unite Coaching Educators nation-wide.

LTPD is a program for soccer player development, training, competition, and recovery based on biological age (i.e.physical maturity) rather than chronological age. It is player centred, coach driven, and administration, sport science, and sponsor supported.

Long Term Player Development: Eliminates gaps in the player development system. Guides planning for optimal athlete performance at all stages. Provides a framework for program alignment and integration, from volunteer club coaches to national and professional teams. Follows scientific principles and practical coaching experiences.

Benefits for coaches & clubs: Information and education on effective coaching and practice methods. Guidelines for appropriate game structures. Guidelines on appropriate competition levels. Established pathways for player development for all levels of ability and ambition. Affirmation of best practices for coaches and club administrators.

Long Term Player Development can be found on the OSA web site in the Coach Department section. Please keep checking the OSA, Coaching Department site for updates on clinics, courses and LTPD updates.
