In the body of the thesis we described the training program based on the age group, taking into account their characteristics. We explained why and how are we contributing to the development of children’s individual physical abilities.
The program of training and coaching the national youth team is based on the practical experiences gained as former competitors and now as coaches and of course the knowledge acquired at the faculty of sports. We presented a program of exercises, competitions and trainings in the preparatory part of the season, why we decide to do sports camps, and what is the content of the gymnastics trainings.
The purpose of the thesis was to present a yearly program of trainings of the national youth team of freestyle snowboarding and to compare the method of training, organization and implementation of the program with the previous ones, in which the requirements of the sport were even less specific and the need for comprehensive preparation and development of motor skills of the child perceived as lesser.
