Waterloo Regional MATMEN Wrestling Club
Youth Program Philosophy and Structure
Waterloo Regional Matmen
Wrestling Club believes in the Long Term Athletic Developmental Model as set by
the Sports Canada and The Canadian Coaching Association. Science, research and decades of
experience all point to the same thing: kids and adults will get active, stay
active, and even reach the greatest heights of sport achievement if they
do the right things things at the right times. This is the logic behind the Long-Term
Athlete Development model (LTAD).
Here are seven stages within the basic LTAD model:
Therefore, Tykes and
Novice in our program will not be competing in any OAWA tournaments.
They will be invited to participate in locally organized in-house
competitions with the emphasis on developing their skills and
friendships.
Parents are not allowed to
register their child in any tournament independently of the club’s
permission.
Session 1:
Focus is on athletic
development through games and drills.
Physical testing will be
administered during week 6 and week 10.
There are no competitions
at all age levels.
Session 2:
Further development of
athletic abilities and the introduction of basic technical skills
(wrestling moves).
Physical testing will take
place during week 5.
Technical testing will
take place during week 6 and 10.
There are no competitions
at all age levels.
Session 3:
Class is divided into 2
groups: Developmental Stream and the Competitive Stream.
All tyke and novice aged
athletes stay in the developmental stream as well as the kid and
bantam aged athletes who have not passed the physical or technical
tests.
Kids
and Bantams who have passed the physical and technical tests in
session 2 are invited in the Competitive Stream and will develop more
technical skills as well as tactical skills in preparation for OAWA
tournaments under the supervision of specific coaches. Coaches still
retain the right to not send athletes in a competition.
