Get an inside look at what training series are like.
An exceptional development experience
One of the key principles in athlete development and the National Team Development Program is having the best athletes train with and against the best. The NTDP National Training Series will support that concept with zonal and national programs four times each year. Zonal programs will occur in the fall and spring , with national programs in the summer and winter.
Participation in the NTDP Training Series will provide evaluation, feedback and individual development plans (IDP) that will be accompanied by online learning experiences to help support athletes in a healthy and holistic way. The NTDP Training Series will be age-appropriate and aligned with the expectations of our senior National Team coaching and performance staff.
