A Youth Cycling Development Program for Canada

Our coaches work with young riders to develop the fundamental movement patterns, strength, aerobic capacity and technical skills to compete at an international level. In order to train effectively, we focus on having fun/mental health and time management that prioritizes school, family, a healthy social life and interests in other activities. In 2025, our Cadets finished 1-2 at the Quebec Championships. In 2026 those same riders won the Cadet and Junior National Road Championships.

Our Juniors have come from across Canada. Juniors continue foundational development but the focus becomes key high performance strategies related to sports psychology, nutrition, physiology, race craft, and life skills to reduce stress during Euro race blocks. Toguri-coached Juniors perform at the National level, and some gain project-based international racing experience through their teams or the National team. Our Juniors have won multiple National Championships, races in Belgium, France and Spain and repeatedly represented Canada at the World Championships.

3 of the last 6 U23 Canadian Road Championship wins came from two riders in our program. We work with U23s racing in Canada and others based in Europe racing for Continental, DN1 and DN2 teams. Coaching remains focused on achieving key training targets but clear performance targets based on race calendar and age are also established. We also work with federations and cycling organizations to provide multi-faceted support for riders going through this international development funnel.

Many Canadian cyclists have begun pro careers after leaving the U23 ranks. Arguably this is because we have never had a national development program. Our coaches understand the needs of cyclists on the threshold of achieving their goals and we work to establish visibility via networks with teams, contacts and the consistent results required to get it done.
