Executive Summary On Tuesday, January 24, 2017, NSO & MSO Long-Term Athlete Development Leads Day was held. This annual meeting brings together the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Leads of National Sport Organizations (NSO) and Multi-Sport Service Organizations (MSOs) to discuss the progress of the Canadian Sport System in implementing LTAD, discuss opportunities for system alignment, and share best practices. The meeting was scheduled one day later in 2017 an attempt to increase attendance. There was a slight increase, from 22 NSOs in 2016, to 26 NSOs in attendance. Four NSOs brought more than one representative (Gymnastics, Freestyle, Snowboard, Equine). Ten MSOs participated in comparison to four MSOs in January 2016.

While there were many topics for input throughout the day, there were two primary topics where NSOs, MSOs and FTPSC Sport Development Working Group/Community of Practice met together to discuss LTAD Progress Tracker and FPT Collaboration Pilot Project (Competition Restructuring: Plan 42.)

NSO LTAD Progress Tracker – presentation of a new initiative to systematically gather information regarding the work completed by NSOs in implementing LTAD to inform future directions and increase capacity to empirically measure progress in implementing LTAD. While all the partners (listed in Appendix 1) provided considerable input, effective and efficient use of the Tracker information was communicated as the key to gaining the benefits from this product. How can the Tracker be used to align and advance the system? • Communicate and educate best practices • Provide cross-sport and jurisdictional comparisons and best practices • Inform funding alignment and prioritization based on data collected • Need for clarification about specific access and use of information

Plan 42 – report of the lessons learned from the pilot project that engaged three sports (volleyball, softball, soccer) at the National and Provincial level, as well as their governmental counterparts to collectively address a specific LTAD Competition Restructuring priority.

In the discussions with the partners, communication and education with various experts and user groups appeared to be a common theme. Each partner (MSO, NSO, P/TSO, Federal and P/T funders and sport consultants) has an integral part to play to guide effective competition restructuring. The Plan 42 products will provide useful education for various groups. The communication, coordination, and collaboration between all partners are essential. Recommended actions include: • A coordinated Plan 42 rollout plan • Guidelines for use of material with appropriate experts and expertise • Sharing progress of Softball and Volleyball • Aligned use of funding to support and incentivize competition restructuring

www.sportforlife.ca 4 3914 Ascot Drive. Victoria, BC. V8P 3S1.

Section 2: Sport for Life Update Richard Way, CEO and Carolyn presented the highlights of the 2016 Leads Day meeting and the poll results, which identified the areas of focus over the past 12 months.

System alignment was identified as a significant priority by NSOs in 2016. A large part of the agenda is to highlight progress and to seek further input moving forward on priority initiatives.

1. Own The Podium & Sport for Life’s collaboration on gold medal profile and athlete development matrix. 2. Coaching Association of & Sport for Life working together on coach developer module, NCCP multi-sport material, Physical Literacy Alliance. 3. Canada Games Council & Sport for Life working together on meaningful competition & sport selection for 2023. 4. Competition review and restructuring was a system alignment priority. With the Plan 42 initiative, the sport system is well positioned to move forward in a manner that will involve all partners including FPT Program/Sport officers and consultants, and NSO and PTSO Sport leaders. (see below in report) 5. Sport inclusion highlights included the Aboriginal Sport Circle and Women in Sport projects. 6. Research and measurement, although not a focus, was initiated by some individual sports, e.g. Synchro Canada. 7. LTAD 3.0 – LTAD Framework has been a focus of LTAD expert team continues work on this product that will also include attention on the Train to Train Adolescent athlete.

Section 3: Project Highlights – Partners Projects There were three MSO partners who presented highlights of work done with Sport for Life in the past 12 months. The following provides a brief overview of the information shared:

Own The Podium (OTP) OTP’s High Performance Development Advisor, Andy Van Neutegem, and Richard Way, presented the OTP – LTAD Podium Pathway and High Performance Athlete Development progress based on work over the past 12 months. OTP and LTAD meetings focused on the “targeted excellence stages” in the LTAD Framework (Train to Train, Train to Compete, Train to Win) aligning with Sport Canada’s targeted sport strategy via targeted excellence agency OTP.

An Athlete Development Matrix (ADM) is created through the sport specific LTAD stage based framework of skills and attributes. The ADM provides NSOs with sport specific knowledge of skills and attributes at each stage, optimizing athlete development, program design, coaching programs and competition implementation.

Podium Pathway defines sport specific excellence stages and the trajectory of athlete development to podium, including Podium Results Track and Gold Medal Profile. Podium results track describes gold medal profile indicators and predictive competition results for identifying podium potential athletes and achieving podium success.

Comments from delegates: • Some sports are evolving the “train to train” stage, needing delineation as there are many sport specific needs that are unique in this stage. • Further definition in creating a Gold Medal Profile and how to implement this into practice – such as communication with parents of athletes. What have other sports done? Using graphics to help people understand? • ADM and Podium Pathway are being described as the same thing. This is problematic. This clarification will be helpful.

Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) Kathy Brook, CAC Coaching Consultant, presented updates on a number of initiatives including the CAC – LTAD Coach Developer, various physical literacy initiatives, and multi-sport material. Coach Developer Workshops are integrating LTAD into coach education and the format, online or face-to-face workshop, is to be determined and piloted.

CAC continues to co-chair the National Physical Literacy Alliance with 15 other MSOs and will be creating workshops with Sport for Life and HIGH FIVE in the creation of a Physical Literacy Instructor certification. CAC is reviewing current NCCP modules and will add new modules: Performance Planning, Plan a Practice 2, and Coaching Athletes with a Disability, as well as Long-Term Athlete Development Information for Parents.

Canada Games Council (CGC) Aaron Bruce, CGC Acting Director of Sport and Games, discussed the session with Multi-Sport Games Franchise Holders where Sport for Life facilitated a session about meaningful competition with respect to age categories and competition format. CGC is working to create meaningful competition and experiences for each sport, heavily dependent on competition format, in conjunction with provincial and territorial policy procedures. This session included a forum for other multi-sport games groups to explore age categories, best practices, and competition formats. Sport for Life worked with CGC to develop the LTAD elements in the sport selection criteria for 2023 sport selection.

Section 4: Information for Consideration: Committees

LTAD Advisory Committee Carolyn Trono introduced Sport for Life’s desire to form an LTAD Advisory Committee to: • Enhance system collaboration with respect to Quality Sport and LTAD implementation among various partners • Ensure coordination of planning based on needs of the Canadian Sport Community • Create a forum for diverse groups with common interests in Quality sport to provide guidance to Sport for Life in the LTAD division

The group further explored the idea of an advisory committee later in the day during the small group discussions.

FPTSC Overview Aaron Nutting, Director of Provincial Services for Nova Scotia, presented an overview of the FPTSC structure. He provided information on Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation ministers meeting on the Canadian Sport policy and various Work Group priorities monitoring LTAD implementation, alignment, and coordination.

Comments from delegates: • What is the funding framework and alignment between provincial and federal development? • Need to ensure alignment within provinces and what NSOs can do with their P/TSOs for a funding framework • Communication between NSOs & P/TSOs to drive LTAD but alignment is needed • Physical Literacy is a priority of the Ministers – a collective approach could have huge impact

Discussion in the room and comments received, suggested that the alignment between NSOs, PTSOs, and the FPTSC, particularly as it relates to funding and LTAD implementation priorities, continues to be a challenge. The group was pleased to hear that progress in this area. The participation of the FPTSC Sport Development Community of Practice in the NSO/MSO LTAD Leads Day was a positive step in working together and alignment. Additional opportunities to promote this dialogue would be beneficial for all.

Section 5: LTAD Progress Tracker Douglas Duncan, Manager of Activation for Sport for Life, presented an overview of the LTAD Progress Tracker and the initial lessons learned from the first wave of NSOs who participated in the LTAD Tracker project.

Based on Shaping the Ideal NSO, this cloud-based LTAD Progress Tracker aims to provide a centralized repository of NSO and P/TSO LTAD final products and initiatives to document the work completed individual sport organizations in implanting LTAD are and how the sport system is progressing in the implementation of LTAD. Each NSO is able to view and upload their products. The LTAD Progress Tracker’s major goal is to develop meaningful analytics and have a central data location for collection, analysis, and progress reporting. As of the workshop, 20 sports had participated in the interview and initial collection of information, Sport for Life aims to have completed the process with 30 sports by year-end.

The Tracker will provide information to: 1. NSO and P/TSO LTAD joint planning initiatives 2. NSO service needs information for MSOs 3. inform funders about the progress of quality sport within the sport system.

With the information and data collected via the Tracker, the goal is to have information widely available throughout the system to enhance effective program design and integrate implementation strategies and build greater system alignment. The development of the LTAD Progress Tracker is an iterative process and requires input and ongoing discussion with all stakeholders in order to achieve the desired results, a facilitated group discussion took place following the presentation in order to inform the on-going development as well as the direction to be taken with reporting.

Group Discussion on the Progress Tracker Following the presentation, the group addressed five questions that will inform the development and evolution of the Tracker. The questions and input from the group are listed below:

Q1 – Considering what has been presented of the LTAD Progress Tracker, what key information is most beneficial to have generated as a result of this tool – For each category of organization: P/TSO, MSO, NSO?

NSO: o Timelines (funded vs. non) o Early adopters, tagged best practices o Comparison between sports o Repository of all information o Ongoing / living snapshot for funding, see self in relation to other NSOs, self-evaluation vs. system evaluation? o Ease of use

P/TSO: o Comparison between like provinces (capacity/size) o Best practices from other P/TSOs o Access to all LTAD projects + resources o Aligns with and supports their provincial funding models, aligns with NSO o Seeing club level content (e.g. coaching education, YTPS) privacy?

MSO: o See where they fit, integrate coach certification level (less dashboards) o Compare across sports o See where NSOs / P/TSOs are to support decisions, funding and needs

Q2 – Considering what has been presented of the LTAD Progress Tracker, what key information is most beneficial to have generated as a result of this tool – Funders (Federal and Provincial)?

FEDERAL: o Identify gaps & prioritize funding o Eliminating redundancy of providing information – access to information by funder (privacy is a concern) o Alignment w/ SFAF o NSO requires additional capacity to populate o Inform funding for LTAD implementation o Information used in a generative fashion, not punitive o Rewarding progress

PROVINCIAL/TERRITORIAL: o Comparison with other jurisdictions o PT government fund P/TSO consistent with progress of NSO o Data / statistics “Quantify the Quantitative “ validate anecdotal progress reports o Repository of good practice o Re-enforces common language

Q3 – Considering what has been presented of the LTAD Progress Tracker, what key information is most beneficial to have generated as a result of this tool when engaging with and communicating with – Members of NSOs and P/TSOs, external partners (e.g. municipalities, local clubs – groups that may peripherally share our agenda, but we don’t have a direct contact with), parents, and general public?

Members of NSOs / P/TSOs: o Quick information for coaches on how to develop (different stages) o Horizontal comparisons between P/TSOs o Access to clubs (presidents?) – “quick stop” for P/TSOs for information

www.sportforlife.ca 9 3914 Ascot Drive. Victoria, BC. V8P 3S1.

External Partners: o Informs municipalities of quality programs being offered o Overall alignment (applies to all areas) o Helps to identify gaps

Parents: o Entry points o Is the NSO offering quality sport? Are the clubs implementing these programs?

General Public: o Tool of accountability (risks and rewards) o Collecting / sharing success stories and best practices (relevant to audience) o Reduce redundancy (NSO website vs. tool)

Q4 – What 1-3 pieces of information would be most helpful for you to have in real time? What 1-2 pieces of information are most important longitudinally (4 year cycle, lifespan of framework, etc.)?

Short term: Long term: o Comparing to other sports o Mapping/Reflection (see last bullet o Other sport resources/resources for Sport connection) for Life o Using other sports information to o Identify gaps in own sport and prioritizing enhance/update athlete development o What’s complete what needs to be done o Whatever is linked to funding o In moment info and data for funders o Can become key tool for funders, ready for SFAFV1? o How long LTAD projects took for other sports and why

Q5 – Thinking about the collection, management and sharing of information, who should have access to the information and how should information be shared?

FUNDERS: P/TSO: o Access to see system gaps o To see where other P/TSOs are at o Provide data quickly to simplify SFAF (aggregate?) o To understand NSO big picture NSO: o Members Clubs: Prefer to drive them to o How? Concern around privacy / access NSO website o Need ability to create report vs. full access o Function / end user need should drive o NSO – P/TSO conversation tool form

Section 6: Plan 42 – Case Study and NSO Consultation on Next Steps Background on Plan 42: This was a pilot project with a focus on system collaboration where three sports were selected to identify competition restructuring initiatives. Further, the initiative is intended to build capacity across jurisdictions within the sports as well as with FPT sport and program officers. Capacity building took place through sport specific workshops, and the development of educational products and webinars with FPT Sport Consultants and Program Officers with LTAD experts.

Competition Restructuring Initiatives include: • Volleyball: Periodization of Competition Calendar, Rules Modification • Softball: Rules Modification • Synchro: Aligning Judge Criteria with Athlete Development Matrix

The three representatives, working with Synchro Canada, provided their insights on learning and insights from this competition restructuring initiative. These representatives are:

1. Heather Ross-McManus, Sport for Life Expert Consultant, guided the NSO on the Plan 42 project, implementing the LTAD framework, and competition restructuring. She reported that collaboration and communication between the LTAD expert and NSO technical experts was key during this process. 2. Jennifer Langlois, Synchro Canada, presented the NSO perspective, where a working group was created targeting the “Learn to Train” stage. Using their Athlete Development Matrix and re- alignment with judge scoring has allowed for better athlete feedback from competition judges. 3. Dr. Cari Din, Repsol Sport Centre, presented the club level and PSO perspective in the vertical alignment of LTAD framework and the positive effects of competition restructuring at the club level.

Group Discussion Delegates engaged in a table discussion of the following questions and plenary report back.

Q1 – What are the 2-3 next steps for your NSO in this calendar year, for your competition restructure? (these responses are from individual NSOs) o Provide recommendations for provincial/local competitions (all other stages) (snowboard/swimming) o Education o Assess – how to approach multi-discipline o Translate documents o Plan 42 – complete pilots, feedback + program revisions, create educational videos on new program, share new program + educational components nationwide o Education of LTAD (youth focus) to PTSO (Karate)

www.sportforlife.ca 11 3914 Ascot Drive. Victoria, BC. V8P 3S1.

Q2 – Given that NSOs lead the competition restructure, how can P/TSOs and the P/T governments help support you in this calendar year? o P/T governments base part of funding on alignment P/TSO – NSO (requires communication) o P/TSOs share information about their: a) competition structure b) challenges to implementation c) logistics o NSO – P/TSO communication and joint strategic projects supported by government o P/TSOs need to share and engage with NSOs to create understanding there is an expectation to implement competition structure o Planned, shared responsibility for competition restructuring implementation (possibly by stage?) o P/TSO to collect data to know what is happening at the club level

Q3 – Beyond additional funding, what extra support and information do you need to move forward on your competition restructure in 2017? (Importance of education – outside expert meaning of definitions used e.g. Operational definition of “meaningful competition”) o Understanding needs – clubs, NSOs, P/TSOs. How can we replace some income / reshape the way that we do things? o Tie funding to authentic alignment between MSO P/TSO NSO & facilities o Need a champion – support endorsement buy-in to help implement competition restructure o Gap analysis support in identifying gaps in competition structure – expertise, neutral party guidance and facilitation – need champion in sport o Identify metrics in gap & monitor to success o Educational component – so everyone understands definitions, e.g. Importance of competition placement in YTP + athlete learning in order to facilitate athlete development, athlete learning leads to development and retention o Templates, case studies, best practices

Q4 – Any other comments suggestion for the use of Plan 42 o Competition review o Integrate play and inclusion of fun, grassroots, play – all athlete abilities o NSO working groups/committee on competition structure o Distribute in low cost accessible way “festival” o Expert who designed / has used the tools as a resource or help
