7 CANADIAN SPORT FOR LIFE (CS4L) Sport Manitoba s plans, programs and grants are more and more being directed to support the emerging Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L) model which also serves to connect sport s goals and outcomes with those of our partners in education, recreation and healthy living. CS4L includes seven Stages of Development beginning with providing an Active Start (Stage 1) in physical activity for pre-school children. Young children learn FUNdamentals (Stage 2) basic movement skills in physical education classes and general multi-sport skills through participation in local learn to recreational programming. Local and provincial sport organizations roles begin with their development of sport specific skills within Learning to Train (Stage 3) and Training to Train (Stage 4)...and for some athletes who move into Training to Compete (Stage 5) and possibly into Training to Win (Stage 6)... as well as for many people who remain Active for Life (Stage 7). Stages 1 and 2 combine to develop physical literacy in children before they reach puberty so they have the basic movement and multi-sport skills to support their being Active for Life. Physical literacy also provides the foundation for those youth who choose to pursue more intense training in one or more sports or activities after age 12. Stages 3 and 4 provide opportunities for older children to play multi-sports while reinforcing general sport skills as well as learning sport specific skills and tactics within more formalized methods of training and competition. Stages 5 and 6 provide more intense training for those youth and adults who want to begin to specialize in one sport and compete at the highest level possible, by maximizing their physical, mental and emotional development. Stage 7 is about staying Active for Life through lifelong participation in competitive and/or recreational sport(s) or physical activity(s). A number of people are asking which organization is responsible for Canadian Sport for Life. The reality is that there isn't a single organization that owns Canadian Sport for Life. CS4L originally began as a Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) framework which involved sport experts from the Canadian Sport Centres supporting 50+ National Sport Organizations (NSOs) with the development of their sport s unique LTAD plans. When it became apparent that individual sports could not, and should not, assume the overall responsibility for developing both broad-based participation as well as our best athletes from cradle to grave...over time...ltad has morphed into a more holistic Canadian Sport for Life model. CS4L has the endorsement of Sport Canada as well as the thirteen Provincial /Territorial (P/T) Ministers responsible for Sport and is being guided and implemented across Canada by P/T sport federations such as Sport Manitoba. Over the last five or so years, CS4L has become a virtual 'movement' that is being embraced by governments, national-provincial organizations and, more and more, by community-based partners in sport. Sport Manitoba is in the process of aligning all of our programs...such as the Power Smart Manitoba Games and Coaching Manitoba...and grants around the impacts that they will have on the overall growth and development of athletes, coaches and officials within each of the seven stages of CS4L. Beginning in Sport Manitoba began to focus our Regional - Community Sport Development Grants mainly around the impact that our grants have at the Fundamentals, Learning to Train, Training to Train and Training to Compete stages of CS4L development. 6 P a g e

21 NATIONAL SPORT TRUST FUND PROGRAM CCPSTF - MANITOBA CHAPTER A common theme in sport is to find ways to increase sources of revenue, in order to meet the demand of providing quality programs and services. Sport and philanthropy go hand-in-hand, however, the Canada Revenue Agency does not view the sport sector as charity, but it does recognize national sport organizations as Qualified Donees by issuing Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association (RCAAA) numbers. In co-operation with the Canadian Council of Provincial and Territorial Sport Federations (CCP&TSF), Sport Manitoba is a partner in the National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF) initiative. The National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF) is a program of the CCP&TSF, which permits sport organizations from across Canada to raise funds for specific causes that will promote the development of amateur sport on a national level. The CCP&TSF is a RCAAA with the Canada Revenue Agency. As a RCAAA, the CCP&TSF is able to issue an official tax receipt to all qualifying donations of 50 or greater that contribute to deserving, approved projects. Sport Manitoba, as a member of the CCP & TSF is the Fund Manager in Manitoba. The program is open to participation by three main partners: Sport Manitoba, recognized provincial sport partners, and their member clubs. Each project would need to meet minimum participation requirements and submit an application form to the NSTF Manitoba Chapter for approval. Types of Allowable Projects Projects that aim to promote the development of amateur sport on a national level and ensure qualitysporting opportunities will continue to be available. Examples are programs that highlight the development of athletes, coaches, officials, volunteer administrators and infrastructure.

Taking It Informed Decision Making Taking It is an easy to use model from which people can learn more about any substance. The Taking It model, using an informed decision-making process, helps athletes, coaches, athletic service providers, and parents consider the many different factors that should be considered when determining whether a substance may be beneficial or detrimental to athletic performance and/or general health. In this way, athletes and those that support them can estimate the possible implications in each of the seven categories of the Taking It model. The model helps them to improve their understanding of the relationship between their performance goals and the consequences of their decision to use substances.
