  1. LTAD Applied to STARSkate Status Update – and Next Steps

  2. Phases of LTAD Integration

  3. Phases of LTAD Integration

  4. Current STARSkate Program • Skating Skills Tests • Free Skating Tests • Interpretive Tests • Ice Dance Tests (includes Compulsory and some creative)

  5. Recap: STARSkate LTAD Analysis • Learn to Train (Below Senior Bronze) • Many skaters over-competing and under-training • External evaluation at this stage is too early in the athlete development • Skating Skills program is not meeting the demands of the sport • Athletes take too long to finish Learn to Train

  6. Recap: STARSkate LTAD Analysis • Learn to Compete (Senior Bronze to Gold) (or “Train to Train”) • Athletes take too long to get here from Learn to Train • Early maturation is a roadblock for female skaters • Too many skaters are left behind at the stage • Rewards for good competition results and penalties for poor competition results are too extreme for this stage of development

  7. Skating Skills - Status • Changed name to “FUNDAMENTALS” • Currently revising to be: • Support to multi-discipline • Moving of stroking and field movements to Fundamentals as multi-discipline requirement • Skills to be aligned with requirements of Learn to Train and Learn to Compete skill progressions

  8. Skating Skills - Status • First Draft program designed (pre-preliminary to Gold). • General Principles through program: • Skills introduced in isolation and then revisited integrated in exercises with more speed • Each level has the following components (A) Edge (B) Turn (C) Stroking (D) Field Movements • At higher levels more focus is on integrated/speed exercises. • Every level will have teaching progressions, training suggestions and standards of performance

  9. Skating Skills - Status DRAFT

  10. Skating Skills - Status • Turn Example: Fwd Mohawk/ Choctaw • PRE-PRELIMINARY

  11. Skating Skills - Status • Turn Example: FO Three-Turn/ Choctaw • PRELIMINARY

  12. Skating Skills - Status • Edge Example: Rocker Edges • JUNIOR SILVER

  13. Skating Skills - Status • Edge Example: Counter Edges • SENIOR SILVER

  14. Skating Skills - Status • Stroking Example: Fwd Perimeter • PRE-PRELIMINARY

  15. Skating Skills - Status • Stroking Example: 2x3 Change 2x3 • SENIOR SILVER

  16. Free Skating - Status • Stroking and Field Moves removed from Part A • Pre-preliminary test being constructed • Elements re-aligned • To match LTAD skill progression definitions • To match CPC language and requirements

  17. Free Skating - Status DRAFT

  18. Free Skating - Status DRAFT

  19. Ice Dance - Status • There are no major changes anticipated • The following open questions remain, and need to be resolved: • Is there a need for a Pre-Preliminary Dance Test? • What is the role of partnering in the testing of compulsory dances? Is it important enough to accept all of the road blocks it creates • Should we consider the development of a solo free-dance (interpretive) stream aligned with CPC that could be tested and competed?

  20. Interpretive - Status • No major changes anticipated • Evaluation language to be changed to match program component language • Interpretive program primarily services athletes in the participatory and Active for Life streams

  21. General Open Questions • The following important questions will be discussed at the meeting on May 30: • The role of coach evaluation at the Learn to Train stage (pre-preliminary through jr. bronze) • Competition alignment with program structure • The role of the Juvenile and Pre-Novice competitive tests (all disciplines)

  22. Next Steps • Full discussion/ consultation with section representatives on May 30th • This first draft to go to a larger group of STARSkate and CompetitiveSkate coaches for feedback – Jul/Aug 2010 • Second draft developed based on consultation – Sept/Oct 2010 • Pre-Preliminary through Junior Bronze stages to be integrated into a Learn to Train program testing (target date: January, 2011)
