Active Stoughton for Life (AS4L)
One of the main goals of the Stoughton Parks and Recreation Department is to create healthy lifestyles. A proven way to create healthy lifestyles is through physical activity and sport. Active Stoughton for Life (AS4L) is a movement to improve physical activity and sport in Stoughton. AS4L uses a scientific model called the LongTerm Athlete Development (LTAD) Model as its framework. LTAD was created by sports scientist Dr. Istvan Balyi. LTAD is a seven-stage training, competition, and recovery pathway guiding an individual’s experience in recreation and sport from infancy through adulthood. LTAD does away with early specialization until age 12 and eases into more competitiveness as they mature and children get older. Using LTAD will make physical activity and sports more enjoyable for the children, and assist them in becoming better athletes. This will also foster in children the continued desire to participate in sports that will lead to active and healthy lifestyles for the duration of their lives. LTAD is used by hundreds of national sport federations, and is currently being introduced in America through national sport associations such as USA Hockey. The American model is no longer used around the world as the best way to develop athletes.
Physical Literacy
Developing physical literacy is a building block approach that follows this direction:
Similar to the reasoning behind why children are taught to count when they begin school before they are taught addition and subtraction and why addition and subtraction is taught before calculus, the same rationale is behind developing physical literacy. Research shows that children need to learn how to do fundamental movements and sport skills before they can learn how to play a sport competently. For example, parents shouldn’t expect their child to be able to pitch in baseball if they don’t know how to balance. Children need to learn the ABC’s of physical literacy before moving on to fundamental sport skills and then sport specific techniques. The ABC’s of physical literacy are agility, balance, coordination, and speed. Once these basic fundamental movements are mastered children can then move on to learning fundamental sport skills. Fundamental sport skills are jumping, running, catching, throwing, kicking, swinging, hitting, etc. Learning these skills allow children to play multiple sports with ease. Not learning these skills can lead to a lifelong disconnect to sports and recreation. Once the fundamental sport skills are developed, children are then able to easily move on to sport specific skills. An example of a sport specific skill would be learning how to do a backhand in tennis. Research shows that learning a sport specific skill before a fundamental movement skill actually hurts performance ability later. Stages 1, 2, and 3 of LTAD develop physical literacy before puberty so children have the basic skills to be active for life.

Stage 2 – FUNdamentals (Males 6-9 & Females 6-8)
- Children should further develop fundamental movement skills including the ABC’s of movement - Children should be exposed to a variety of sports and physical activities throughout the year
Stage 3 – Learning to Train (Males 9-12 & Females 8-11)
- Major skill learning stage: all basic movement and sport skills (physical literacy) should be learned before the growth spurt - More time should be spent on training and practice than competing - Children being exposed to multiple sports and activities should continue
Stage 4 – Training to Train (Males 12-16 & Females 11-15)
- Major fitness development stage: endurance, strength, and speed - Continued approach of spending more time on training and practice than competing - Most important stage in determining the long-term potential of an athlete

Job Training
Teens often lack the basic employability skills needed to get and keep a job in today’s society. Research shows that 85% of people who lose a job do so because they lack good work habits, rather than lack appropriate job skills. Factors most often cited for job loss are tardiness and absenteeism, failure to follow intrusions, and inability to get also with supervisors or fellow workers. Basic employability skills that are based in a strong work ethic are needed in all occupations. While the proper technical skills are important, today’s employers are looking for employees with the ability to communicate effectively, work on a team, resolve conflicts, handle ethical dilemmas, and manage their time in an effective manner. Covered topics:
Creating A Positive Work Ethic
• The importance of dependability, initiative, and interpersonal skills • Making yourself hirable • Making a positive first impression • Tips for mastering the paperwork (applications and resumes) • Succeeding in a job interview • Keeping a job once you get it
Self Defense Training
Our goals are to inspire students with the dynamic martial arts spirit as we share with them the techniques of self-defense in Taekwondo. Taekwondo is a martial art intended to stop unwanted advances from an attacker, i.e. self-defense. Like learning to swim, self-defense is a skill that could one day save your life. However, Taekwondo class is more than learning self-defense. It is intended to shape the lives of students by providing focus, concentration, discipline, awareness, elevated self-esteem, and confidence to accompany Taekwondo life saving skills. Although it takes many years to master Taekwondo, the discipline, perseverance and confidence learned in class carries over into all aspects of life. Discipline helps students to maintain focus at school and gives them courage to stand up to negative social influences. In class students are taught to persevere through physical conditioning. This empowers them to believe that what was once impossible is now possible. Students also learn to have confidence in themselves and their abilities by setting goals and achieving them. Respect, loyalty and courtesy for students and instructors are aspects of Taekwondo training that are expected of every student. As a result, the benefit of martial arts training is much more than learning self-defense. It is learning to do one’s absolute best at all times, in all situations.
Tutoring and Mentoring
The Computer Repair Program provides a creative and safe outof-school learning environment where young people work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop skills, and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology, and once the work is done kids get to keep the computer.
One of our missions is to help children overcome barriers to achievement in school and promote academic success. Each child does homework with his or her tutor and receives any extra help he or she needs in the fundamentals, especially reading or math. We create a supportive community where learning can take place. Each person is respected and education and achievement are valued. The goal is to prepare children to perform better in school by providing them with educational assistance, positive role models, consistency, and extracurricular activities that broaden their horizons.
Fashion Design
Reach for the Stars

The fashion club is organized to provide students with an opportunity to express their creativity through clothing, textiles, and design. Through collaboration, students showcase their talents and skills in fashion and clothing construction to promote awareness of diversity in art and style.
