Kids Bike Club
Coaching at ‘Bike Club’
So why the need for coaching, or as our younger riders like to call it, ‘Bike Club‘?
Well, Newport Shropshire Cycling Club, like many sports clubs around the country, understand the importance of bringing and then nurturing new blood into the sport of cycling, so with the help of British Cycling, Newport CC have a team of qualified British Cycling Level 2 coaches..
So, if you would like to gain more confidence in riding a bicycle safely, or you think a child may benefit in being taught basic-intermediate cycling skills and techniques, which with practice become a skills set, then do not hesitate to come see what our coaches do, or make contact with us by email:
coaching@newportshropshirecc.org.uk
Note 1: Due to the huge popularity of Newport CC’s coaching sessions, participants should already be able to ride a bicycle (without stabilisers).
Note 2: If you and your child are NEW to our ‘Bike Club‘ coaching sessions, then you will be required to complete a ‘Rider Consent Form‘ for each rider, so please PRINT and complete the form, then bring it with you…
