School Bookings
School bookings
Cyclopark’s educational programmes have created a pathway that enables children to transition from novices to safe and confident cyclists as well as encouraging young people to participate in a range of exciting cycle sports.
The school programme initiative is run by British Cycling qualified coaches, with all sessions focusing on:
- Building confidence
- Keeping fit and healthy
- Learning new skills
- Increasing self-esteem
The aim is for the riders to learn and reach their potential whilst enjoying themselves.
The range of courses means that, children not only become confident at riding, but also gain an understanding of the sport and the equipment. In addition to this, they can develop an appreciation for how cycling can help them in their everyday life, whether that's through promoting independence or overcoming personal challenge.
All school bookings are reviewed, processed and confirmed via emailing Megan.Panton@Cyclopark.com. Please see available school coaching sessions below:
