Alberta Speed School

Alberta Speed School has club protocols in place to ensure safe travel for our members and their families. Some of our services are different depending on the athlete’s age and where they are located on the Long-Term Athlete Development model of appropriate competitions.

For any athlete in the U14 & U16 age group, we require a parent to travel with the athlete to act as chaperone and room with them in accommodations. For the Twilight Competitions (1 day meets) occasionally Alberta Speed School will travel as a team / group to the event to keep the cost affordable for the athletes.   

Athletes cover the following costs:

• Meet entry fees.
• Travel to and from the city hosting the meet.
• Ground transportation in the city hosting the meet.
• Accommodations

Attending Meets, but not limited to:

• U20 and Senior National Championships if the athlete achieves the qualifying standards.
• U18 athletes that are performing well will be encouraged to participate at U20 Nationals for a high competition experience.
• U16 and U18 National Championships if the athlete achieves the Team Alberta legion team standard. If the athlete is not selected to team Alberta, and has achieved the qualified standard, Alberta Speed School can enter the athlete, at the athletes cost.
• All Provincial Championships or Trials
• Major annual meets in Alberta, such as the Spring Challenge, CALTAF Classic, Sherwood Park Classic, Twilight meets (Gord’s Running Room competitions)
