Understanding Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L)
There has been a nationwide shift in the education and delivery of sport, known as Canadian Sport for Life (CS4L). This movement has generated a new way to train and develop our youth. As a result, the Rising Star program will focus its funding on the Train to Train category of the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD).
