September 2023 School Holiday Sessions

During these school holidays we are running a junior accreditation programme for 10-15 year old's. This programme is suitable for complete beginners and provides a pathway into our regular after school junior programmes. Registration closes 25th September.

If you have never ridden on the Grassroots Trust Velodrome and want to give it a try, then you can absolutely come along. We are offering our Junior accreditation programme, and this is a great place for kids to start their track cycling journey. They will be coached towards becoming competent to ride our track.

Please also remember to bring a snacks and water – it’s hard work!

*Please note, participation in this programme does not guarantee that the riders will become competent to ride the track (accredited). We will do everything to try and make this possible but sometimes it just takes longer for certain people dependant on their skill, confidence, and fitness level.
