Next Gen Program
About the Program
The Calgary Spartans are proud to introduce Next Gen — a new training group designed to meet the evolving needs of athletes in our city. Whether you’re just beginning your journey in track and field or looking for a fresh start, Next Gen is built to support your growth. For younger athletes, it means accelerated entry into the next generation of Spartan talent. For older athletes, it offers a chance to re-engage with the sport on flexible, manageable terms. And for everyone, it signals our commitment to innovation and inclusivity in training.
This group trains twice per week during the indoor season and is open to athletes aged U14 and up. All U14 and U16 athletes who are new to track and field begin here, building skills and fitness in a supportive environment. With weekly support from experienced senior coaches, athletes will progress at their own pace and move into senior training groups as they’re ready. Next Gen is also ideal for adult athletes who want to train for general fitness, enjoy the sport without the pressure of competition, or balance training with a busy lifestyle.
Whether you’re aiming for the podium or just looking to get moving, Next Gen is your opportunity to grow with the Spartans. Join us and be part of what’s next.
