Developing Players for Life
Long-Term Player Development (LTPD)
Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) prioritizes player growth. Ultimately, that’s the goal for everyone involved in our wonderful sport.
LTPD creates enjoyable playing experiences for children, establishes a clear development pathway for youth, and offers opportunities for lifelong participation for players of all ages, genders, and abilities.
This framework supports the growth and success of soccer in Canada.
