The Development Luge Program is open for children/youth ages 13 and older who want to progress in the sport of luge and are working towards moving up into the Canadian Luge Association’s NextGen group.

This full-year program includes two to five days of dryland training during the off-season and up to six on-ice training sessions per week throughout the winter (learn more about our coaches here). Athletes who are new to the program or in their first year can enroll without committing to summer training.
