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 Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) as its framework. LTAD is a seven-stage training, competition, and recovery pathway guiding an individual’s experience in recreation and sport from infancy through adulthood stages. Using LTAD will make physical activity and sports more enjoyable for the children. This will make children want to participate in sports which will lead to active and healthy lifestyles throughout their lives.

Physical Literacy

Developing physical literacy is a building block approach that goes this way: Fundamental Movement Skills -> Fundamental Sport Skills -> Specific Sport Techniques 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. Children learn what numbers are in school before they are taught addition and subtraction and why addition and subtraction is taught before calculus. The same reasoning is behind developing physical literacy. 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, then children may move on to sport specific skill. 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.

Seven Stages of LTAD Stage 1 - Active Start (Males & Females 0-6)

- Children this age need to learn the ABC’s of movement - Children need to see that physical activity is a fun and exciting part of everyday 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

873-6746 • www.cityofstoughton.com/rec

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

Stage 5 - Training to Compete (Males 16-23 & Females 15-21) - Competition becomes serious - High intensity, high volume training - High school athletics

Stage 6 - Training to Win (Males 19+ & Females 21+) - College and professional athletics

Stage 7 - Active for Life (Enter at Any Age)

- Minimum of 60 minutes moderate daily activity or 30 minutes of intense activity for adults - Adult recreational sport leagues, fitness classes, etc

Physical Literacy Programs FUNdamental Multisport Programs FUNdamentals

These programs are intended to improve the ABC’s of physical literacy in children. The ABC’s of physical literacy are agility, balance, coordination, and speed. They’re a key to developing an active and healthy lifestyle. A child’s movement confidence develops gradually. They constantly compare their own level of ability against the children with whom they play. Physically literate children who move with skillful purpose KNOW they move well. This confidence encourages them to try new activities without fear. This is a great program if your child is in sports and wants to develop their athletic ability. Mike Wendorf is the main instructor for these programs and is also the owner of Level Up “The Natural Athlete”.

These programs will directly focus on developing these skills. This is due to the fact that is easier for children to develop skills before the onset of their growth spurt.
