Canada Games Winter 2011 Sport Science Program - NS

WHAT IS IT?

The Canadian Sport Centre Atlantic (CSCA) is supported by the four Atlantic provincial governments, Sport Canada, Canadian Olympic Committee and the Coaching Association of Canada.  The CSCA aims to offer efficient services for the sport community and meet the needs of athletes and coaches at national and provincial levels residing in Atlantic Canada. 

The CSCA has continued to develop the Sport Science Program to assist Atlantic Canada's athletes and coaches to achieve their optimal performances at the Canada Games.  In this program, the CSCA will work with Canada Games appointed coaches to coordinate a series of sessions with the CSCA's sport science experts.

Each discipline of the CSCA Integrated Support Team is an essential component for athletes training at an elite level.

Teams enrolled in the Canada Games Sport Science Program will receive an integrated and tailored program of scientific support throughout the time leading up to the Games.  This will include (if applicable) mental training, nutrition, strength and conditioning programs and fitness testing.

IS MY TEAM ELIGIBLE?

To participate in this program in Nova Scotia, teams must have:

• Named their Canada Games coaching staff and team manager
• Developed their selection criteria for their final cut CG athletes
• Submitted their yearly training plan
• Completed the CG sport science application form

Please note: 

• A maximum of 20 athletes per team will be eligible for fitness assessment sessions
• The initial consult between the team coach and the sport scientist will establish how best to progress with the program

To access services, please:

1.  Complete the application form and submit to the address below.

2.  Contact Emma Neupert (see below) to discuss your ideas and needs.

The deadline for applications is Friday, February 12th, 2010, one year prior to the Canada Games.  However, we would strongly encourage you to apply ASAP; this allows more time for planning and implementation of the program.

Finally, please note that once enrolled in the program, the coach and CG team manager will be given the contact details for the sport science service providers.  The team will be responsible for scheduling sessions directly with these service providers.
