Coaching level descriptions:

Beginners

  • Need to be riding a pedal bike

  • Available to all riders and designed to build rider confidence while having fun.

    There is an assumed level of ability that riders can complete a full lap of the track, if your rider is still working on getting around the track they are very welcome but please let us know so we can plan the session to be appropriate and inclusive.

Advanced Beginners

  • Riders aged 8+

    Designed for riders who are ready for more advanced techniques.

    We have a few prerequisites for this to make sure riders are confident on their bike and also are able to listen to and take in instructions.

    Prerequisites:

    - Must be able to balance sitting down at the gate for 20 seconds

    - Must be able to stand up and balance at the gate for 5 seconds

    - Pump through 3rd straight

    - Be confident around the berms including when near other riders

Intermediate

  • This will be designed as a training group, there will be an expectation that riders know how to jump (last straight table, double and step up), manual and have consistent gate starts.There will also be a bit of a higher level of behavior expected with this group. They will still be having fun with their friends but they will be expected to listen, follow instructions and arrive on time. Content will vary depending on the race calendar, rider progression and priorities.
