Canadian School Sport Federation & CS4L (Sept. 30, 2009)
Integrating better practices in school sport and CS4L - a one-day workshop linking together CSSF student athletes and interscholastic sport with CS4L.
CS4L began as a sport project to improve the development of athletes/participants by national sport organizations (NSOs) and partners. Now, a full fledged movement (def: a diffusely organized group of people or organizations tending toward or favoring a common goal), CS4L is increasing the quality of sport throughout Canada by developing our youth to be physically literate, active for life or to reach the podium.
 
Thirty of the 56 NSOs have completed the first stage of outlining their LTAD guides and are moving into implementation with provincial and local partners. This is creating tremendous and varied change to improve the quality of sport in Canada!
