EDP versus High Performance
We understand that there could be some confusion around the Elite Development Program and the High Performance Program.
The Elite Development Program is an off season program for athletes that have a desire to get better during the off season. This will better prepare you for the high performance provincial programs in the Spring, but it is not a requirement.
