The search is on – and local athletes between the ages of 14 and 25 are invited to show their stuff in the RBC Training Ground tryout at Burnaby’s Fortius Sports Centre.
The event, which goes Feb. 5, is a joint initiative between the Canadian Olympic Committee and RBC to provide local athletes a chance to test their strength, speed and endurance before officials from 11 Olympic sports.
Those chosen have a chance to earn future Olympian funding from RBC. Officials from national sports organizations attending include: Cycling Canada, Rugby Canada, Athletics Canada, Bobsleigh Canada, Canoe Kayak Canada, Rowing Canada, Alpine Canada, Judo Canada, Triathlon Canada and Water Polo Canada. They’ll be scouting for the next standout and potential cross-over talent.
Athletes are encouraged to sign-up in advance at rbctraininground.ca.
