Active Stoughton for Life (AS4L)<br />
One of the main goals of the Stoughton Parks and Recreation<br />
Department is to create healthy lifestyles. A proven way to create<br />
healthy lifestyles is through physical activity and sport. Active<br />
Stoughton for Life (AS4L) is a movement to improve physical activity<br />
and sport in Stoughton. AS4L uses a scientific model called the Long-<br />
Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model as its framework.<br />
LTAD was created by sports scientist Dr. Istvan Balyi. LTAD is a<br />
seven-stage training, competition, and recovery pathway guiding an<br />
individual’s experience in recreation and sport from infancy through<br />
adulthood. LTAD does away with early specialization until age 12 and<br />
eases into more competitiveness as they mature and children get older.<br />
Using LTAD will make physical activity and sports more enjoyable for<br />
the children, and assist them in becoming better athletes. This will also<br />
foster in children the continued desire to participate in sports that will<br />
lead to active and healthy lifestyles for the duration of their lives.<br />
LTAD is used by hundreds of national sport federations, and is currently<br />
being introduced in America through national sport associations<br />
such as USA Hockey. The American model is no longer used around the<br />
world as the best way to develop athletes.<br />
Physical Literacy<br />
Developing physical literacy is a building block approach that follows<br />
this direction:<br />
Similar to the reasoning behind why children are taught to count<br />
when they begin school before they are taught addition and subtraction<br />
and why addition and subtraction is taught before calculus, the same<br />
rationale is behind developing physical literacy. Research shows that<br />
children need to learn how to do fundamental movements and sport<br />
skills before they can learn how to play a sport competently. For example,<br />
parents shouldn’t expect their child to be able to pitch in baseball<br />
if they don’t know how to balance. Children need to learn the ABC’s of<br />
physical literacy before moving on to fundamental sport skills and then<br />
sport specific techniques.<br />
The ABC’s of physical literacy are agility, balance, coordination, and<br />
speed. Once these basic fundamental movements are mastered children<br />
can then move on to learning fundamental sport skills. Fundamental<br />
sport skills are jumping, running, catching, throwing, kicking, swinging,<br />
hitting, etc. Learning these skills allow children to play multiple sports<br />
with ease. Not learning these skills can lead to a lifelong disconnect to<br />
sports and recreation.<br />
Once the fundamental sport skills are developed, children are then<br />
able to easily move on to sport specific skills. An example of a sport specific<br />
skill would be learning how to do a backhand in tennis. Research<br />
shows that learning a sport specific skill before a fundamental movement<br />
skill actually hurts performance ability later. Stages 1, 2, and 3<br />
of LTAD develop physical literacy before puberty so children have the<br />
basic skills to be active for life.<br />
Seven Stages of LTAD<br />
Stage 1 – Active Start (Males & Females 0-6)<br />
- Children this age need to learn the ABC’s of movement<br />
- Children need to see that physical activity is a fun and exciting part<br />
of everyday life<br />
Stage 2 – FUNdamentals (Males 6-9 & Females 6-8)<br />
- Children should further develop fundamental movement skills<br />
including the ABC’s of movement<br />
- Children should be exposed to a variety of sports and physical<br />
activities throughout the year<br />
Stage 3 – Learning to Train (Males 9-12 & Females 8-11)<br />
- Major skill learning stage: all basic movement and sport skills<br />
(physical literacy) should be learned before the growth spurt<br />
- More time should be spent on training and practice than competing<br />
- Children being exposed to multiple sports and activities should<br />
continue<br />
Stage 4 – Training to Train (Males 12-16 & Females 11-15)<br />
- Major fitness development stage: endurance, strength, and speed<br />
- Continued approach of spending more time on training and practice<br />
than competing<br />
- Most important stage in determining the long-term potential of an<br />
athlete<br />
Stage 5 – Training to Compete (Males 16-23 & Females 15-21)<br />
- Competition becomes serious<br />
- High intensity, high volume training<br />
Stage 6 – Training to Win (Males 19+ & Females 21+)<br />
- College and professional athletics<br />
Stage 7 – Active for Life (Enter at Any Age)<br />
- Minimum of 60 minutes moderate daily activity or 30 minutes of<br />
intense activity for adults<br />
- Adult recreational sport leagues, youth (ages 13+) recreational sport<br />
leagues, fitness classes, etc<br />

movement skills for the long-term while<br />
making the sport more fun for the children.<br />
Frequency and duration of each<br />

Young Rembrandts: The Power of Drawing<br />
At Young Rembrandts we teach drawing, the fundamental skill of all<br />
visual arts. We believe that drawing is a skill that can – and should – be<br />
learned by all children. While Young Rembrandts classes are structured<br />
and educational, children learn best when they are entertained and<br />
engaged. Young Rembrandts combines the best of both worlds – foundational<br />

Bricks 4 Kidz – Space Adventures<br />
Many children dream of being an astronaut and traveling to space, so<br />
Bricks 4 Kidz created an entire unit around<br />
space! Each week, students will learn about<br />
real-life space exploration and build a new<br />
model related to the NASA space program.<br />
Models include a satellite, a lunar module,<br />
a centrifuge which astronauts use to prepare<br />
for the physical sensations of launch,<br />
a treadmill which astronauts use to stay fit<br />
in space, and a “space robot”. During this<br />
unit, students will learn some of the science<br />
behind launching things into orbit, will hear<br />
about the most-distant-man-made object in<br />
the universe, and discuss what it is like to be an astronaut in space. Are you a<br />
budding astronaut? An adventurer who loves space exploration? Then you’ll<br />
love our Space theme projects! We’ll be building NASA astronaut training<br />
equipment, a space robot and more in this exciting four-week session. Let<br />

Fill the Gap<br />
Fill the Gap provides young people with educational support, career<br />
development opportunities, and positive role models for academic and<br />
professional success. This program helps young people develop the<br />
skills to compete successfully in higher education and careers of their<br />
choosing.<br />
Kids Kick Healthy Living<br />
The Kids Kick Healthy Living Program works to encourage healthy<br />
habits. We are implementing new programming and snack options to<br />
help children make better discussion when it comes to eating and living<br />
healthy.<br />
3D Printing via the MakerBot<br />
MakerBot brings the future to your desktop with affordable, open<br />
source 3D printers. MakerBot is our own little factory where you can<br />
make almost anything you can imagine. This technology has the potential<br />
to transform the way we think about science, technology, engineering<br />
and mathematics (STEM) education, and to inspire more young<br />
people to pursue those careers.<br />
Job Training<br />
While the proper technical skills are important, today’s employers<br />
are looking for employees with the ability to communicate effectively,<br />
work on a team, resolve conflicts, handle ethical dilemmas, and manage<br />
their time in an effective manner. Covered topics:<br />
Creating a positive work ethic<br />
The importance of dependability, initiative, and interpersonal skills<br />
MakMaking a positive first impression<br />
Tips for mastering the paperwork (applications and resumes)<br />
Succeeding in a job interview<br />
Keeping a job once you get it<br />
Computer Repair<br />
The Computer Repair Program provides a creative and safe outof-school<br />
learning environment where young people work with adult<br />
mentors to explore their own ideas, develop skills, and build confidence<br />
in themselves through the use of technology, and once the work is done<br />
kids get to keep the computer.<br />
Tutoring and Mentoring<br />
One of our missions is to help children overcome barriers to achievement<br />
in school and promote academic success. Each child does homework<br />
with his or her tutor and receives any extra help he or she needs in<br />
the fundamentals, especially reading or math.<br />
Reach for the Stars<br />
Improve academic deficiencies and increase the percentage of students<br />
who graduate from high school. To accomplish this goal, the<br />
program offers broad as well as specific educational activities:<br />
1. Help youth understand and evaluate their life options.<br />
2. Increase the developmental assets in youth.<br />
3. Establish meaningful, long-term relationships between program<br />
participants and positive adults within the community.<br />
These programs are ongoing beginning in September and running<br />
through the school year. Participates are encouraged to join at all times.<br />
There is no cost for these programs.<br />
