Stage 4: Train to Play Ages: Males 12-16 / Females 11-15
Objective: To focus on training the whole Ultimate athlete based on his/her physical, technical, tactical, mental, cognitive, and emotional development.
The Train to Play stage focuses on preparing the athlete for the demands of the sport both physically and mentally. Through physical training the athlete builds an anaerobic and aerobic base and develops speed and strength. Mental training supports the athlete through this increase in training intensity ensuring that the athlete is mentally strong and able to concentrate during training periods. An increased understanding of tactics and strategies used in Ultimate will assist in the continued development and consolidation of skills learned in previous stages. Players in this stage have fully internalized Spirit of the Game and practice it on the field.
Participation in sport is narrowed to two sports that are complimentary. It is also by the end of this stage that athletes transition from T2P to T2C or T2P into Ultimate for Life for more recreational participation in Ultimate.
PLAY ULTIMATE! Ultimate is offered through school and/or club based leagues. Coaches are trained at the Community-Initiation level. Provincial team programs are also available in certain provinces.
