The Alberta World Cup Academy and the Capital Region Training Group have established a partnership to provide prospective athletes with a more diverse set of options as they consider their personal path to national and international excellence. The Alberta World Cup Academy consists of athletes from clubs across Canada that have decided to train full time with their primary goal being to qualify for a National level team and/or international competition. The Capital Region Training Group consists primarily of athletes from central and northern Alberta who are training more part time and are currently either going to school full time and/or working. The combination of the core AWCA Training Centre Team, based in Canmore, and the CRTG Team enhance the ability to provide the highest quality athlete support services possible to a wider geographic ski community while building more connections in the athlete development stream. In the first two year

s of this partnership the AWCA CRTG programs have connected team athletes and coaches to over 250 club level developmental athletes from over 12 clubs. In effect the Alberta World Cup Academy and CRTG form a unique network of athletes, coaches and clubs that merges the advantages of both professional volunteer capacities.

The Alberta World Cup Academy (AWCA) is a vibrant, inclusive training Centre that offers high quality programming, in a cost effective manner. We are partners with Cross Country Canada, Cross Country Alberta, and the high performance ski community in Canada. We provide opportunities to those athletes who show the aptitude to become internationally successful.

Capital Region

Training Group

(CRTG) is a team of dedicated high performance cross country ski racers who reside in Alberta’s Capital Region; are from various youth development clubs; train together regularly; and who aspire to someday be national and international cross country ski champions. The CRTG was conceived of by athletes to create a platform to support their training and competition goals while they also pursued education and/or work related goals. In addition to regular high performance support systems, CRTG athletes are also engaged as ski leaders through both coaching at clubs and through a series of athlete development camps where they coach and inspire younger athletes in the Capital Region.
