The MCA Provincial Programs are designed to support athletes 13 years of age or older who are interested in pursuing cycling at a competitive level. These programs focus on Road, MTB and Cyclocross racing, which are Olympic disciplines, part of the Canada Summer Games, or have opportunities for athletes to advance in their cycling careers.
The Development Program is aimed at introducing young athletes to competition and structured training in several cycling disciplines. This program is open to all athletes 13-18 years of age.
The Performance Program is aimed at preparing athletes to compete and win at Provincial and national level events, building upon the knowledge and skills gained in the development program.
Athletes of the High Performance Program are members of a National Trade team or higher.
