Youth Track School offers an inclusive athlete-development pathway in the velodrome environment, supporting participation, personal growth, and progress from beginner to personal best. Whether recreational, community, or competitive, every student is welcomed — regardless of background or starting point.

Each session covers 20 minutes of agility and off-bike movement followed by 60 minutes of track training.

Program structure

Length

Each Youth Track School runs for 12 weeks

Schedule

Three sessions a week to choose from: Mondays and Wednesdays (take one or both), plus Saturday Multi-Sport. Session times are on the registration form.

Pricing

$240 for one day a week, $420 for two. Every rider also needs a 2026 AVA Access Card.

Three ways to join

Pick the stream that fits, then choose one or two days a week.

Beginner / Intermediate

Ages 11 to 16, with some riding experience or none at all. A fun, fast-paced, confidence-building 12 weeks with certified coaches. Mondays and Wednesdays, once or twice a week.

Advanced

Ages 13 to 16 who have completed a 12-week Youth Track School. Athlete development: interval training, functional movement, and concentration during pacing efforts. Mondays and Wednesdays.

Saturday Multi-Sport

Cross-training for young athletes in any sport, in season or off. The velodrome builds conditioning, coordination, balance, confidence and focus. Saturdays.

2026 sessions

The program runs three 12-week sessions across the year:

Session 1: January – March 2026

Session 2: April – June 2026

Session 3: late September – December 2026

Registration for the fall session is open now in our rider portal. The form has the exact dates, times and spots left for every stream.

What riders work on

Sessions build in a natural order — balance, then agility, then speed, then tactics — with plenty of games along the way: chariot races, slow races, and elimination (think musical chairs on bikes). The curriculum draws on Cycling Canada's development models.
