LTAD Performance Bridge​The LTAD

​

Performance Bridge is a structured intermediate development program designed as a strategic pathway between club-level training and National cadre groups. It is exclusively intended for skaters aged 6 to 10 years, from JA1 to JA4 (Junior Academy) within affiliated clubs, who have been identified as having strong potential to progress toward National categories such as Preminimen, Minimen A, and Minimen B.​This program supports athletes during a critical phase of early development, where fundamental skills must be consolidated while progressively introducing higher performance demands. Its core purpose is to bridge the gap between club-level participation and National standards by providing a coherent, high-quality training environment aligned with long-term athlete development principles.​​

​

• Advanced fundamental and technical development: strengthen core skating skills while gradually introducing more complex elements appropriate for the age group.

• Age-appropriate physical preparation: develop coordination, balance, agility, and basic strength in a safe and progressive manner.

• Mental and behavioral foundations: encourage discipline, focus, enjoyment, and positive training habits.

• Introduction to performance culture: build early awareness of good practices such as recovery, respect, and commitment.​
