The Grassroots Trust Velodrome Junior programme offers young riders a pathway of continual development. From first timers on our have-a-go sessions all the way up to advanced junior level, there will be a session that suits everyone.
The Junior programme is designed to allow riders to progress through the various squads.
These sessions are run by qualified, experienced Grassroots Trust Velodrome Coaches and are suitable for kids aged from 10 years (provided they meet the minimum height requirements of 135cm) up to 18 years of age.
Our Junior Programme Coordinator, Mya Anderson will be able to advise on which squad is most suitable for your needs at mya.anderson@velodrome.nz and we’ll get you booked in!
Junior Camps information will be confirmed shortly.
