Coaching Resources
Recent sports science research has shown that the best route to fully developing athletic ability is not through early specialization and participation with "elite" youth sports teams but rather through participation in a multiple sports year-round up to the age of approximately 14-16! This has come to be known as Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD), after the book by the same name which first introduced this research.
One of the many benefits of CYO is that athletes of all abilities can compete in all sports, making CYO one of the only youth sports leagues in the greater Kansas City area to provide the multi-sport opportunity to maximize athletic development.
