Young athletes in the U14 and U12 categories are invited to train with the Junior Race Team. This is a program for athletes who wish to race and train towards improvement in the sport. We follow Nordiq Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development Model and implement age-appropriate training to improve the athlete’s technical, physical and racing skills. U14 athletes compete at the Ontario Youth Championships and selected Ontario Cup races. U16 and U18 athletes compete on the Ontario Cup Circuit and high-school races with the possibility of attending the Canadian Championships.
​
Athletes are expected to attend 3 team sessions per week that will include a combination of online strength sessions with a coach, rollerskiing and running/ski-simulation practices in the fall. Once snow falls, practices will involve skiing and strength. Athletes also follow an individualized training program on non-practice days. We train primarily at Laurentian Nordic, Delki Dozzi Memorial Park and Kivi Park but will make use of other facilities in Greater Sudbury as appropriate.
GEAR: All participants should own their own classic ski gear, skate gear, rollerskis (if possible) and basic weight training equipment
