The 52-Week Development Plan
52 weeks · 5 phasesThe 365-Day Annual Roadmap: a complete season mapped week by week — Off-Season, Preseason, In-Season, Playoffs and Postseason — with exact sessions from the library. Tap any week to see its plan. Use the toggle to switch between the girls' and boys' curriculums.
🔬 Development-window overlay (LTAD)
LTAD models commonly describe trainability windows — periods where a quality is easier to develop — and advise adapting around growth spurts (PHV) rather than birth year alone. Treat the windows as a planning aid, not a guarantee: girls typically reach peak height velocity around 11–13 and boys around 13–15, so plan strength and stamina work around your group's actual maturity, not just the calendar.
Skill-hungry years. Max touches in Off-Season + Preseason skill blocks; both hands, all surfaces.
Quickness windows. Short, fresh, frequent sprint work — before fatigue in every conditioning block.
After peak height velocity (girls ~11–13 / boys ~13–15). Progress to strength work in Off-Season; monitor growth every ~3 months.
Aerobic base builds after the growth spurt. Ramp volume in Off-Season, protect intensity in In-Season (RPE targets above).
