At this time our ASDC training programs have been canceled due to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Please make sure to check our website for updates at gprc.me/COVID-19.

With regional centres all over Alberta, the ASDC network aims to coordinate and enhance services available to Alberta’s emerging athletes and coaches, in both rural and urban areas, allowing athletes to develop and train at a high level without leaving home.

The ASDC Network supports the idea of a holistic training approach which we believe helps athletes to reach their optimal athletic potential. By combining sport science applications with support from experts in areas such as nutrition, sport psychology and injury prevention. Each centre helps coaches, parents and athletes build an ideal environment for enhanced athletic development and performance. 

ASDC-NW & GPRC

Through a shared vision of becoming the regions sport science experts, ASDC operates out of GPRC’s High-Performance Training Centre. The HPTC is the official training facility of Wolves Athletics and a majority of ASDC-NW, including the Athletic Enhancement Program and other multisport and team training groups.

Each ASDC Centre is unique in its operation and coordination. This allows the Centres to best reflect the needs of their area and help coordinate the required programs to service the emerging athletes of their region. Collectively, the Centres carry a united passion and provincial mandate to support and coordinate the development of our emerging athletes and coaches. All ASDC Network members are responsible for ensuring that:

• Working relationships are built within the regional sport community
• ASDC services and programs are available to athletes and coaches throughout each region
• The Centres service all sports and do not focus on any one sport
• Methods for receiving input and feedback from partners in each respective region are established and utilized
