THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION YOUTH ATHLETICS PROGRAM

The Royal Canadian Legion’s Track & Field Program, which has been in existence for over 50 years, is designed to provide training and competition at District, Provincial and National levels for young Track & Field athletes  10 years to 17 years of age.    It also provides, at no cost to the athlete, an opportunity for young athletes to visit different parts of Canada, mix with     athletes and coaches from across the country and to make them conscious that the Legion cares for them and their future.   Many of the athletes that have participated in our program, have gone on to become Olympic medal winners and many have progressed to other fields of sport, such as Wayne Gretzky, a Provincial Medal winner in Track & Field.

Athletes qualify for the Provincial Team by attending the District Track & Field Meet, where they compete along with approximately 300 other athletes.   This year, up to 400 athletes will  attend the Provincial Meet where they then can qualify to attend the National Meet – the Canadian Youth Athletic Championships.

The District Meet is held in June, with the Provincial in July and National in August. Athletes are funded by their local Legion branches, the Provincial and Dominion Commands.
