The MCA Development Program is aimed at introducing young athletes to competition and structured training in several cycling disciplines. This program builds upon the fundamental skills of general sport movement and basic cycling learnt in our grassroots program (Kids of Mud) and from other sports. Athletes are introduced to the different aspects of training (physical, motor, technical, mental, nutrition, etc), and how to compete in multiple cycling disciplines.

This program is the “Train to Train” and “Learn to Compete” stages of the LTAD model. This program works towards facilitating athletic growth and development in multiple cycling disciplines, preparing athletes for competition in age-appropriate Manitoba races. This program is the link from our Kids of Mud fundamental program to the Performance Program.
