Learn To Race Academy – HALF TERM

Learn To Race – Academy

If your child is already racing, or is thinking about starting, then the ‘Learn To Race’ sessions are ideal for introducing them to a set of skills that are the essential tools of good racers at every level of the sport.

The aim of the sessions is to develop their skills, so that fitness and speed is not a barrier as they are introduced to standing starts, riding as part of a group and tactical riding. All riders will have the opportunity to improve regardless of ability.

The session is lead by a qualified road and time trial coach with over 10 years of delivering cycling activities to children of all ages (from two to seventy two) including riders with disabilities and has extensive training in LTAD (long term athlete development).

Riders who have attended these sessions have progressed to acheive podiums at North West champs and Mountain Bike festivals.

Our Learn To Race session is designed to help you develop the tactics and decision-making skills you’ll need to excel on the track. We actively create a positive environment where you can try out scenarios you may experience when racing, and develop your confidence in selecting the best strategy for success. Don’t miss out on this chance to take your racing skills to the next level. Sign up now and get ready to race! 🚀🏁
