RESOURCES
We believe that parents play a crucial role in their children's success on and off the field. That's why we've put together a collection of resources to help parents understand the importance of sport and soccer. We hope these resources will empower you to make informed decisions about your child's athletic journey.

LTPD is a model of athlete development that parallels what doctors and psychologists have long used to better understand human development: as a series of distinct stages, which takes us from infancy through to adulthood. A person’s abilities, behavious and emotions, as well as their understanding of the world around them, varies from stage to stage.
