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 Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model as its framework. Physical literacy is the foundation of LTAD.
Physical Literacy Physical literacy is defined as the ability, confidence, and desire to be physically active for life. ABILITY refers to competency in basic movement skills and an overall fitness that allows individuals to engage in a variety of games and activities. This outcome is achieved through a mix of informal play and intentional teaching of movement skills, among them running, balancing, hopping, skipping, jumping, dodging, gliding, falling, lifting, swimming, kicking, throwing and a range of skills that require general hand-eye coordination. CONFIDENCE is knowing that you have the ability to play sports or enjoy other physical activities. It is the result of programs and venues that are inclusive of people with differing abilities, and the support and encouragement from parents, guardians, coaches, administrators, teammates, and peers throughout the development process. DESIRE is the intrinsic enthusiasm for physical activity, whether in organized or unstructured formats, in traditional or alternative sport. This result is achieved through early positive experiences that are fun and motivate children to do their best.

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
Stage 5 – Training to Compete (Males 16-23 & Females 15-21) - Competition becomes serious - High intensity, high volume training
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, youth (ages 13+) recreational sport leagues, fitness classes, etc.
Developing 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. These basic fundamental movement skills are needed to participate in a variety of physical activity later in life.
Residency Policy
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

The distinctive black and white patterned “Selbuvotter” mittens were developed in the Selbu area near Trondheim Norway in the 1850’s. In this class, students will be introduced to the tradition, choose a pattern, and begin knitting a pair of these beautiful Norwegian mittens. The mittens are knitted in the round, using small size double-pointed needles, (US size #1 or #2). We will work from charts, showing the contrasting stitches clearly.
