The CDN—NDG Athletics Club aims to spread the passion for athletics among young people aged 6 to 17 in the Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough. We offer our athletes the opportunity to acquire essential techniques in various disciplines such as running, jumping, and throwing. Beyond technical skills, we encourage the overall development of their physical qualities, including endurance, explosive strength, and coordination. Our Club comprises three (3) tiers: initiation, development, and competitive.

1. Initiation Tier (6–9 years old)

For youth aged 6 to 9, this section aims to introduce them to the basics of athletics through games and playful activities.

2. Development Tier (10–12 years old)

Young athletes in the development tier benefit from two (2) training sessions per week. A prior introductory session is recommended. Events offered include sprinting, middle-distance running, long jump, high jump, shot put, relay races, cross-country, and athletic games.
