Pathways for the development of junior members.

Related topics: club

During their growth from five to 17 years, young people develop physically, psychologically, emotionally and socially. These changes in young people are reflected in differences in:

• the way they learn
• the variety of skills they are capable of
• the activities they like
• the time they are prepared to spend in the systematic practice of sport
• their attitude to, and need for competition

Pathways need to be designed for young people to move progressively through
sport to provide opportunities to:

• gain skills in line with their level of maturation
• move easily from one stage of involvement to another
• be motivated and have fun while developing their skills and interests
• inspire them to stay involved long term
