Journal article

The implementation of long-term athletic development (LTAD) aims to improve health, physical activity and performance of all youth. Contemporary LTAD models suggest that a broad range of physical and psycho-social competencies should be developed in youth, but few resources are available for coaches that describe ‘how’ to achieve these outcomes. This paper overviews a coaching session framework called RAMPAGE (Raise, Activate, Mobilise, Prepare, Activity, Games, Evaluate). The framework provides practitioners with information on what can be planned and delivered and when within a coaching session, across multiple ages and stages of development within multiple contexts (e.g., physical education, talent development).
