Students in HPA, SSF, and LTAD are currently reviewing and learning about the important role of a yearly training plan (YTP) in coaching and training. A YTP is a tool used in the long-term planning process for athletes who require an integrated approach to balancing and monitoring sport-specific training loads with strength and conditioning, and other commitments throughout the year while paying special consideration to key dates and time periods in the calendar.
Those of you who are taking on the challenge of integrating your fitness class activity with your yearly training plan for the rest of the semester can download this simple version of a YTP template to help you.
Note: Please remember that students must be logged in to their YRDSB Google Apps (GAPPS) account to view / download this file.
The template will allow you to budget and map out the relationship between your weekly fitness training totals and sport-specific skills training totals along with average intensity levels. Volume and intensity considerations for each microcycle should align with your fitness training goals for the specific macro-cycle in your training plan. You should also us the template to designate fitness assessment weeks and specific tests for those weeks.
