Shortcoming
Elite level strategies and tactics are imposed on developing players.
Training, strategy and tactics used in the men’s game are often imposed on female players, particularly in the mixed division.
Impact
This may lead to underdeveloped skills that are the foundation necessary to be effective as an advanced player.
The development of female players is affected on mixed teams that primarily focus on the male players on the field.
Players are often grouped into too broad of an age group, an incorrect age group or a group with the opposite gender as there are limited offerings with sufficient numbers across all age groups and for both genders.
Limited age groups and regions have access to Provincial and regional camps.
Physical mismatches are created when programs are defined by chronological age.
Chronological rather than developmental age is used in training and competition planning. This is especially common as divisions created by age are quite broad.
Athletes may not be getting exposure to challenging training environments.
Early maturing players may have a big advantage over their later maturing teammate or opponent.
Early maturing players fall behind at a later stage as they never took the time to develop skills and may choose to leave sport as a result.
Late maturing players may leave the sport if the proper environment is not created for them during their extended skill-development window. The athletes will feel inferior to early maturing players and won’t understand their potential for development.
In some jurisdictions there is no integration between physical education programs in schools, recreational community programs, and elite competitive programs.
The athlete development pathway is unclear and disjointed. Players lose interest or are unsure of the road to achieve their goals. Skills are taught haphazardly without standardization. Some participants are not aware of potential goals, as there is no clear pathway.
