The overwhelming majority of people playing just about any sport fall into a stage called Active for Life. Having built a solid foundation in the first three stages of the framework, they progress to playing the sport or sports of their choice for enjoyment, satisfaction or for the health benefits they obtain. The Active for Life stage is further broken down into two sub-phases: Competitive for Life & Fit for Life. Athletes with aptitudes that suggest national &/or international competition embark on further training & stages, possibly even leading to the Podium Pathway.
