OFSAA Prep
Our OFSAA Prep Program four-month training program built specifically for athletes preparing for the OFSAA Track & Field Championships. We guide athletes through their entire season from conference meets and city championships, to regionals and OFSAA.
Training is tailored to each athlete and their event, progressing throughout the
season to develop the technical, physical, and race-specific qualities needed at each stage of competition. The program is ideal for athletes looking for focused, additional training beyond what they receive through their school or club program.

COMPETITION SUPPORT
Training and support continue throughout the entire competitive season, from early-season invitationals and conference meets through to championships and OFSAA. Athletes have ongoing access to our coaches and training resources, with opportunities to ask questions, review race and event video, discuss performances, and make adjustments as the season progresses.
On competition days, our coaches are there to provide guidance and support before, during, and after competition. Athletes can continue training with us throughout the season, even if their competition season ends earlier than expected. There is always more to learn, improve, and prepare for, and we encourage athletes to keep showing up and taking advantage of the resources available to them.
The Junior Stars Program combines 3x weekly in-person training with guided at-home work to support consistent development. In-person training introduces the following elements:
TRAINING

GENERAL STRENGTH + WEIGHTS - In The Gym
Athletes are introduced to weight training with a focus on learning proper technique, movement mechanics, and safe lifting practices. Strength work is specifically designed for track and field, building the power and strength needed for sprinting, running, jumping, and overall athletic performance.
RUNNING SESSIONS - In The Gym
Running sessions are tailored to each athlete’s event, with workouts that evolve throughout the season as athletes develop. Athletes build efficient running mechanics, develop speed and endurance, and prepare their bodies for the demands of track and field.
RACE APPLICATION DAY - On The Track
This is where athletes take their training from the gym, and put it together on the track. Athletes complete event-specific workouts, testing, and technical work while applying the mechanics developed through their strength and running sessions. The goal is to sharpen the details, build race-specific skills, and learn how to execute.
On non-training days, athletes receive guided work that may include general strength, additional workouts, recovery, or scheduled rest days. This hybrid approach helps young athletes learn to balance training with school, sports, and other demands while developing time-management skills, independence, and accountability. They begin to understand that staying healthy and progressing as an athlete requires consistent habits outside of structured training sessions and that ultimately, their development is something they have to take ownership of.
