Support is provided to assist with the growth and development of New Brunswick provincial organizations who's mandate includes the development of sport and recreation opportunities.
Provincial organizations in this model have a primary mandate for the development of leaders in the field of Sport and Recreation, the provision of programs and services, and the promotion of participation.
Provincial organizations in this model do not meet the criteria established for Funding Model I or II, but do provide programs and services that support the goals of the Sport and Recreation Branch.
The seven-stage Canadian model for Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is an overview of a training, competition, and recovery program based on developmental age - the maturation level of an individual - rather than chronological age. It is athlete centred, coach driven, and administration, sport science, and sponsor supported. Athletes who progress through LTAD experience training and competition programs that consider their biological and training ages in creating periodized plans specific to their development needs.
