Alberta Speed School Program Information
Alberta Speed School is a Red Deer based seasonal summer track club. Winters are spent resting the body and working on strength and conditioning in preparation for the summer season. During the winter months we may participate in a few indoor meets.
Coach Ron travels to Mexico for the winter months to coach high-performance athletes from the Puerto Vallarta Halcones Track Club. He uses his knowledge and expertise in both countries to further develop and enhance high-performance track athletes.
Alberta Speed School is the only Central Alberta track club with high performance sprint and hurdle coaching and is conveniently located in Red Deer.
As a speed and biomechanical specialist Coach Ron has coached athletes from other sports. He has worked with WHL athletes, OUA football athletes and volleyball and lacrosse athletes.
2024-2025 was a busy time for Coach Ron as he pursued greater knowledge and professional development. In the fall of 2025 Coach Ron completed the NCCP Advanced Coaching Diploma course and as well completed the USA T&F Level 3 course. The knowledge gained from these courses will be a valuable addition to his education and knowledge of the sport of track and field.
