Moncton Ringette Association's player development follows the guidelines included in the Athlete Development Matrix set forth by Ringette Canada. The Athlete Development Matrix (ADM) is a matrix of key skills or building blocks that a player or athlete must develop through their participation in sport at the local and high performance levels.
Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) is a movement to improve the quality of sport and physical activity in Canada. CS4L links sport, education, recreation and health and aligns community, provincial and national programming. Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is a seven-stage training, competition and recovery pathway guiding an individual’s experience in sport and physical activity from infancy through all phases of adulthood. CS4L, with LTAD, represents a paradigm shift in the way Canadians lead and deliver sport and physical activity in Canada.
