The ODP was created with the Sport Canada Long Term Athlete Development principles in mind and offers a category for five and six year olds with two levels. At a competition, a pre-determined list of goals for each athlete will be used for each physical test rather than a specific score. No scoresheets will be provided to the public. A recording of the athlete’s achievements will be taken at each station by a trained ODP assessor and a copy given to the coaches at the completion of the event. For all ODP 5/6 year old events there will be no scoring or ranking, all athletes will receive one participation certificate. Rhea Matthew and Kendal Bird both competed at this competition.
