Essentials
This document provides a snapshot of the key building blocks for the developing player and high performance athlete. Using Canada’s Sport for Life Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) framework, their generic Athlete Development Matrix (ADM) and acquired expertise from Canada’s Ringette community, these Essentials were compiled. To help coaches and administrators build and test the effectiveness of programs, a more detailed and comprehensive version of Ringette Canada’s Athlete Development Matrix will soon be available on this page.
The Athlete Development Matrix is split into 4 components: Psychological, Life Skills, Technical/Tactical/Strategic and Physical. Further to that, Ringette Canada has added a fifth component, Ethical Literacy, a True Sport initiative.
