Chisasibi after school sport pathway program

By integrating our After School Program into their schedules, participants can benefit from developing good habits. This will allow participants to focus on academics at school, preparing them for the possibility of post-secondary education in the future. Furthermore, our Sport Program Pathway will introduce new sports, enhance performance in existing sport participation and create a foundation of qualified coaching and development into the future. Safety, accountability and structure are the main points we will provide in programming. 

Our program model is based on the theories surrounding “Periodization” whose goal is to promote a healthy life for all through a system that organizes daily, weekly and annual training plans for all ages and gender (Hoffman; Naclerio, Moody, & Chapman, 2013). This model has been adopted in numerous countries around the world that have developed both elite level Olympic programs and a strategy to promote healthy living in communities through physical activities (Hoffman; Naclerio, Moody, & Chapman, 2013). While we use the periodization method for the physical development, we have been able to utilize this model to develop our elite athletes in the community. We have applied this model to our day-to-day operations and we have positive results with our members.
