2013 Long Term Player Development (LTPD)
The Canadian Soccer Association has introduced the need for a new and better approach to developing the sport of soccer and individual players across the country.
LTPD at the recreational level aims to ensure that coaches will be better trained and players will receive more actual skill instruction and most importantly, have more fun. The various components of LTPD provide a logical, thoughtful and well-supported approach to the many stages in a young soccer player’s development, whether at the competitive or recreational level. Players need the right messages and the right activities at the right time. LTPD principles are designed to deliver precisely that. To offer the best environment for young players to learn and have fun through more playing time and more touches on the ball the structure of some divisions have changed.
Division | Game Size | Team Size |
Timbits | 3 v 3 | 6 players |
U6 | 3 v 3 | 6 players |
U8 | 5 v 5 | 10 players |
U10 | 7 v 7 | 12 players |
U12 | 9 v 9 | 15 players |
U15 | 11 v 11 | 20 players |
U19 | 11 v 11 | 20 players |
LTPD aims to ensure that every player can reach their potential while maintaining their love for the sport. At the recreational and younger elite/competitive stages, there will be far less emphasis on scores and winning and losing. Every young player is unique and develops, matures and grows in sport at a different pace. LTPD makes sure we don’t “miss” any kid’s particular needs.
