The TCSC NextGen program is built around long-term athletic development for youth and teens.
Rather than focusing solely on competition, the program rewards well-rounded fitness, athleticism, skill development, and consistency. Athletes progress through a 15-level system by earning points across a variety of physical tests.
The goal isn't simply to become a better athlete.
The goal is to build confidence, resilience, work ethic, and positive habits that can last a lifetime.
The NextGen Showcase is our opportunity to measure progress.
Athletes complete a series of tests designed to evaluate different aspects of fitness and athletic development. The tests are age-appropriate and tier-specific, creating a clear pathway for progression from beginner to advanced levels.
Each athlete earns points based on performance, which determine their current NextGen level.
Athletes are evaluated through a combination of:
This creates a balanced assessment that rewards well-rounded development rather than specialization.
One of the most unique aspects of NextGen is the level progression system.
Much like a martial arts belt system, athletes earn colors as they progress through increasingly challenging standards.
Every level represents a meaningful achievement and provides athletes with clear goals to work toward between Showcase events.
Congratulations to the following athletes on earning new NextGen levels:
While new levels are exciting, the most meaningful result from the day was something else entirely.
We intentionally kept the Conditioning Benchmark Test identical to our first Showcase event.
All six athletes improved their score.
100%.
Every athlete achieved a personal best.
That result perfectly captures what the NextGen program is about.
The goal isn't to compare kids against each other.
The goal is to help young athletes develop confidence through measurable improvement and to create opportunities for them to see the rewards of consistent effort.
Thank you to all of the athletes, parents, families, coaches, and volunteers who helped make the event possible.
Each Showcase gives us more clarity and momentum as we continue building the NextGen program into something truly special for youth athletes in Kamloops.
We're incredibly excited about where this program is headed.
