Development, not results, key to de Vos continued from p.24 goals," he added. LTPD advocates say coaches can be teachers of the game, rather than recruiters who target players that rely on strength and speed. By sticking to this philosophy, they say, parents and coaches ignore the fact that players are deprived the opportunity to obtain the skills needed to thrive at an elite level. TSN soccer analyst and former OSC technical director Jason de Vos believes that LTPD puts the development needs of the young player rst, rather than focusing solely on results. "The bene t of this approach is that by this stage, young players will have acquired the skills needed in order to win games through technical and tactical ability, rather than relying on physical advantages," said the former national team captain. "Focusing on providing a better `classroom' for young players to learn the game across the country will also serve to create more players capable of progressing to higher competitive levels in the game." -- Tyrrell Meertins is a journalism student at Humber College Do you know how your Little League offering Challenger Baseball program Halton Challenger Baseball, a program that allows children with cognitive or physical disabilities to play the game of baseball in a fun environment, is back in Oakville once again this year. Oakville Little League has partnered with Autism Ontario to offer Challenger Baseball for the third consecutive season. The program is offered Sundays from 2-4 p.m. at Cornwall Park, beginning this weekend and concluding in late August. Players are out tted in Oakville Little League uniforms and all equipment, including bats, balls and helmets, is provided. The division is coached and run by volunteers who coach at every skill level and promote a fun atmosphere. Each week, players will begin with a practice and drills, followed by an interleague game and then a wrapup at the snack bar. In games, able-bodied "buddies" assist players with their involvement in the game, from pushing wheelchairs around the basepaths to protecting players from batted balls. Batters hit off a tee, and no score is kept. In this week's session, players can pick up their uniforms, have their pictures taken and warm up for the upcoming season. Snacks and drinks will be provided. Nearly 40 children have already signed up for this season, but space still remains in the program. Children from across Halton are welcome to participate.
