Langley Youth Soccer Association has launched their new developing talent plan which outlines the Association’s method for the development of players of all ages.
The plan has been followed with the principles of Long Term Player Development (LTPD) and sets out the player centered approach to help players achieve their full potential.
In a nutshell it is about doing the right things at the right time and with the right method to produce a progressive and logical player pathway that will give players the best chance to reach their potential at whatever level they choose to compete.
The development of the player is seen as a long term process which can take many years and it outlines the roles of the coaches, parents, administrators and players at each stage of development. The process emphasizes episodes of performance over the long term rather than just the winning as a short term peaking for the weekend objective.
Given the above statement, LUYSA is embarking on a player development program that will meet and exceed the needs of Long Term Player Development. The programs will meet the needs of individual player development, position specific development, unit development within the team and team development as a whole. A summary of the Long Term Player Development Program may be found on the LUYSA website.
