Ontario Cycling (OC) is proud to present the 2023-2024 Youth Track Development Series (YTDS) held at the Mattamy National Cycling Center located at 2015 Pan Am Boulevard in Milton, Ontario. The YTDS, sanctioned and governed by Ontario Cycling, consists of 4 separate racing opportunities, with different events at each one. The series is designed to optimize the development of our young athletes, through providing fun, non-traditional races. This allows the riders to focus on skills, speed, tactics, and personal bests, rather than competition and endurance. The Mattamy National Cycling Center is an indoor 250m track made of Siberian spruce and was built in 2014 for the 2015 Pan Am/Para Pan Am Games.   

• Registration for all YTDS events are open to riders 18 years of age and younger, with a minimum age of 9. 
• The events are pre-registration only. Late entries will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If granted, will have an additional fee of $50.00.  
• Only Provincial Race Licenses and UCI Race Licenses are permitted. Out-of-Province riders must have a UCI License. Licenses will not be sold on event day and must be purchased in advance.  
• To participate in the YTDS Finale, an Ontario athlete must have participated in at least 1 Youth Track Development Event (either #1, #2, or #3). 
• Riders must participate in all races at each YTDS event. If a rider unnecessarily withdraws from one race, they may not be allowed to continue racing for the remainder of the day. 
• Individual event registrations for the YTDS #1, #2, #3 and Finale will close on the Tuesday at 12:00pm noon prior to the event date. 

• All participating athletes must be MNCC certified through NCIM. However, if an athlete has previous experience training and racing at another velodrome, they are eligible to take the Race-Ready Assessment through NCIM. Race Ready Assessments are offered the morning prior to YTDS events, during a Drop-In Session. If the Race-Ready Assessment is successfully completed, the athlete will receive their MNCC certification.
