LONG TERM ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT (LTAD)
When participating in any type of recreation or competitive sport or activity, there is a progressive model that Canada and subsequent organizational bodies use for athletes, whether they are just beginning or a nationally ranked competitor. This model breaks down the stages in specific detail based on age, skill level/ability, and competition. The 7 stages that Sport for Life, Canada’s initiative for sport and recreation, are as follows:
Active Start
From 0 – 6 years, boys and girls need to be engaged in daily active play. Through play and movement, they develop the fundamental movement skills and learn how to link them together. At this stage developmentally appropriate activities will help participants feel competent and comfortable participating in a variety of fun and challenging activities and games.
FUNdamentals
In the FUNdamentals stage, participants develop fundamental movement skills in structured and unstructured environments for play. The focus is on providing fun, inclusive, multisport, and developmentally appropriate sport and physical activity. These experiences will result in the participant developing a wide range of movement skill along with the confidence and desire to participate.
Learn to Train
Once a wide range of fundamental movement skills have been acquired, participants progress into the Learn to Train stage leading to understanding basic rules, tactics, and strategy in games and refinement of sport specific skills. There are opportunities to participate in multiple sports with competitions focused on skill development and retention. Games and activities are inclusive, fun, and skill based. At the end of the Learn to Train stage, participants grow (or progress) towards sport excellence in the Train to Train stage or being Active for Life, either by being Competitive for Life or Fit for Life.
Train to Train
Athletes enter the Train to Train stage when they have developed proficiency in the athlete development performance components (physical, technical-tactical, mental, and emotional). Rapid physical growth, the development of sporting capability, and commitment occurs in this stage. Athletes will generally specialize in one sport towards the end of the stage. A progression from local to provincial competition occurs over the course of the stage.
Train to Compete
Athletes enter the Train to Compete stage when they are proficient in sport-specific Train to Train athlete development components (physical, technical-tactical, mental, and emotional). Athletes are training nearly full-time and competing at the national level while being introduced to international competition.
Train to Win
Athletes in the Train to Win stage are world class competitors who are competing at the highest level of competition in the world (e.g. Olympics, Paralympics, and World Championships, World Cups or top professional leagues). These athletes have highly personalized training and competition plans and have an integrated support team of physical therapists, athletic therapists, and sport psychologists providing ongoing support.
Active for Life
Individuals who have a desire to be physically active are in the Active for Life stage. A participant may choose to be Competitive for Life or Fit for Life and, if inclined, give back as a sport or physical activity leader. Competitive for Life includes those who compete in any organized sport recreation leagues to Master Games. Fit for Life includes active people who participate in non-competitive physical activity.
Please note: all programs are subject to change or possible cancellation if the instructor feels there is not enough participants for drills and games.

Sport Ready 1 2
Instructor Jake Gallagher
Coaching better quality of movement and creating better athletes. A fun, competitive environment that creates a culture of success. We believe athleticism is developed and learned over a long term athletic development program rather than just a natural talent.
We aim to develop movement so athletes can perform moves their sport requires. When training for athleticism, an individual must have solid movement patterns that hold up to forces placed on them. We must know if the athlete has asymmetries (differences from side to side) in the body that force compensation and eventually cause breakdown. It is important to focus on building a solid platform.
The best way to develop strength, elasticity, agility, power, muscle recruitment, acceleration, and deceleration is to play a wide range of sports. Sports requires wrist set, separation of upper and lower body movement, segmental stabilization, upper and lower body power, balance, rotational power, vertical power and weight transfer.
We will focus on as many sports as possible to develop skills and patterns to become better movers and athletes. Children under 6 are encouraged to register in gymnastics.

ETIQUETTE CLASSES
Etiquette Classes at the Derrick Club. We are often unaware of the statement we make when we present ourselves to others. We underestimate how big of an effect our choices have on our personal and professional progress. Etiquette is universally essential, but constantly evolving. Knowing how to act and what the proper etiquette is for a variety of events is important. This can include, for example, proper introductions, dining etiquette, non-verbal communication, business etiquette, emailing, videoconferencing, social media etiquette, or other aspects of good manners. The power of manners is infinite. People who know what is expected of them in social and professional situations really do go further in life. My goal is to help people gain confidence and build meaningful connections to advance their personal and professional lives.

SAFETY SPLASH NOTES
The Derrick Club Standard of Water Safety
• Active supervision must be provided by a responsible individual 16 years of age or older.
• Swimmers under 7 years old MUST be actively supervised in the water and within arm’s reach.
• Swimmers under 12 years old MUST complete a swim test prior to using the deep end of the main pool. If unsuccessful they may only swim in water that is chest deep or less.
• Swimmers between the ages of 7 and 12 do not require active supervision in the pool but must have a responsible adult in the Club
The swim test consists of a 25-meter horizontal front crawl with face in the water, full arm circles, and breathing to the side. The swimmer then exits the pool immediately, jumps back into the deep end, and treads water for 30 seconds with their ears out of the water. A parent and a lifeguard must supervise the swim test. The swim test is designed to keep our junior members safe when they are at the pool; therefore, it is crucial that it is completed with ease and comfort.
Children unable to complete the swim test have the option of staying in the teach pool or completing the swim test with a lifejacket on. When the swim test is being done with a lifejacket, the swimmer must be able to complete it to the same standards as they would be required to without a lifejacket. However, full arm circles and breathing to the side is encouraged, not mandatory, as they will be required to always wear a lifejacket when in the main pool.
Regardless of age, lifeguards can ask anyone weak or unfamiliar to complete the swim test before entering the deep end. A chaperone adult may actively supervise a maximum of three children at one time.
Before & After Lessons
The teach pool and main pool are busy during lessons, lifeguards may ask you to wait until class is over before entering the water. Children under age 7 are not allowed in the teach pool or whirlpool without parents in the water and within arm’s reach at all times.
Infants & Toddlers
Infants and toddlers are required to wear approved swimwear before entering any pool (no diapers). Swimwear on preschoolers should be snug around the legs so the possibility of a fecal matter incident is decreased. Please take your children to the bathroom and a warm shower located on the pool deck prior to entering the pool.
Staff Emergency Doors
Please do not use the doors to the main lobby as they are intended for staff or emergency access only. Should you need to speak to someone on deck, please use the Sun Café entrance or the locker room stairs.
Hot Tub
The recommended maximum time in the hot tub is approximately 10 minutes. A cool down for an equal amount of time is recommended before going back in. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, please consult your doctor before using the hot tub.
The Aquatic Facility is a Shared Water Space
Showering is Important! Everyone must take a cleansing shower before entering the swimming pools to avoid carrying dirt, bodily secretions, bacteria, and/or residue from hygiene products into the pool. Ideally you wet/scrub yourself from head to toe to ensure the swimming pools remain clean and sanitary.

PICKLEBALL
Pickleball may be played as singles or doubles game with a solid paddle and a ball similar to a wiffle ball. The game is similar to other racquet sports and is played on a doubles badminton court with the net lowered to 3 feet. Pickleball requires less dynamic movement than other racquet sports and thus, is gentler on the body. In addition, pickleball strokes are very much like tennis but game play is much slower. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America, is easy to learn and a hoot to play. Come out and give it a try.
Pickleball is a great game for all ages, backgrounds and skill levels. Don’t be shy give it a try!

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
Players will get assigned to different courts based on their level of play. They will then play a round robin game with everyone on that court and the best player on court moves up a court and the lowest player on that court moves down one court. You want to try and make it to the top court and stay there. This ladder system ranks everyone by levels pretty evenly. We play 2 ladder rounds per day so you can potentially move up to 2 courts per week. Stats and rankings will be sent weekly to the club for member redistribution.
