The MCA 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. This is the “Train to Compete” stage of the LTAD model. Athletes who are members of this program have shown competitive results in and outside of Manitoba. The objectives of this program are to increase an athlete’s experience and knowledge through provincial and out-of-province competitions and qualifying for provincial and national teams. This program is the link from the Development Program to the High Performance Program.

Athletes are expected to complete both training sessions on own (2-4 times per week) in addition to group training sessions (5 days per week), during the winter (November to April) and the summer (May to October). Athletes will compete in all three disciplines (road, mtb, cyclocross) and are required to have appropriate bikes for each. Athletes outside of Winnipeg will have training programs that can be done on their own.
