Our training covers the major track and field disciplines, including sprinting, middle- and long-distance running, jumping, and other event-specific areas.

Training frequency varies by program, age, and competitive level. Some programs offer one or two sessions per week, while competitive athletes may train multiple times per week and follow additional work outside of scheduled sessions.

Competition expectations depend on the program and the athlete. Some programs are development-focused and offer competition as an option, while competitive athletes are expected to participate regularly throughout the season.

Training varies by athlete and time of year, but sessions may include warm-up and mobility, technical development, strength training, event-specific work, running, conditioning, and recovery. Training is purposeful and designed around the athlete’s development rather than simply completing a set workout.

There is no single pathway to team selection. Qualification depends on the athlete’s age group, event, performance level, and the specific team they are seeking to represent.Provincial Teams: Athletes generally need to be registered with their provincial governing body (Athletics Ontario Competitive Registration), compete at sanctioned meets, and meet the required performance standards or selection criteria. Strong performances at provincial championships and designated qualification meets can also put athletes in consideration for provincial teams and development programs.National Teams: Athletes typically need to meet Athletics Canada’s published performance standards within the required qualification period and compete at designated national-level competitions. Selection may be based on qualifying standards, championship results, national rankings, and other criteria outlined for the specific team.Our coaches can help athletes understand the pathway for their event and age group, identify the standards they are working toward, and plan their training and competition schedule accordingly.
