Like the YM Academy, YM U23 is a year-round program with training plans created around the annual USA Cycling and international racing calendars and the athlete's personal training and racing goals in a format that provides a foundation for development to the athlete's physical potential. As a graduate program of YM Academy, the goal of YM U23 is to identify and develop athletes capable of competing at an international standard and, ultimately, place riders into their respective national team programs and/or onto elite trade teams. Cyclists are provided with fully-customized Athlete Performance Plans, monthly training calenders administered through Training Peaks' web-based software, unlimited access to their YM Coach, written program modification, delimited athlete management, and up to three OnSite workouts and/or RaceAssist sessions a week, including access to exclusive YM U23 OnSite workouts as they are planned. YM U23 sessions begin October 1 each season and follow a quarterly Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer session format. While it's recommended that athletes enter into the program in the Autumn Session to maximize development, entry into the program is provided for throughout the year. For the 2010 racing term, this program is designed and managed by Coach May Britt. FeesYM U23 Coaching Bundle: $175/month Athletes in this program must purchase the discounted Platinum-level Champions Membership at 24-7 Fitness Clubs for the Autumn and Winter Sessions.

YM U23 provides the highest level of support in the bundle of programs at Young Medalists High Performance and is considered a graduate program of the YM Academy for road and track riders ages 19-22 that are moving out of the junior ranks. This program is designed specifically for U23 competitive cyclists that have at least one year of experience in sanctioned bicycle racing, are former junior members of Young Medalists High Performance, or are transitioning from competitiveness in another sport and are determined to be eligible for the program through a YM Coach assessment.
