Club Activities and Programme

Rugrats

The Rugrats are our youngest members and we aim to allow them to develop their riding skill and confidence through play. There is no deliberate structure to their time, no set goals and no targets. Instead they will be guided by our Coaches and Young Volunteers in activities which help them to be become better riders. Riders need to be able to start and pedal unaided and not need parental support.

Rascals

Rascals is for members from around 6 years old. The session is for 1 hour, the session begins with a helmet and bike check followed by fun activities promoting confidence, coordination and technique.

Racers

Racers is for our older members. The session is 90 minutes starting with a skill or technique promoting co-ordination or performance. The last 30 minutes are usually a more competitive activity incorporating the techniques coached earlier.
