Beacon Academy Summer of Cycling 2024

Who? Beacon Academy coaching sessions are open to all children aged 5-12 who can ride a bike and would like a challenge.

What and why? These traffic-free coaching and training sessions aim to develop children's bike handling skills and fitness. They provide an age-appropriate introduction to cycle sport. We keep the cost as low as we possibly can. We can loan out bikes.

When? Wednesday 5 June, Tuesday 11 June, Wednesday 26 June and Thursday 11 July, 17:30-18:30.

Where? Ackers Adventure. The address is Golden Hillock Road, Small Heath, Birmingham, B11 2PY. Please head for 'Ackers Base Camp'.

What equipment do I need? A working bike; helmet; gloves; clothing that can keep you warm enough – but not so you get too hot putting an effort in; layers are good. See Bike, Helmet and Clothing Checklist (PDF).

What if we haven't got the equipment? Let us know by selecting the 'borrow-a-bike' option. We also have a stock of helmets.

Safeguarding: The club's welfare officer is Kate Dighton, who can be contacted at [email protected].

How much? The sessions are free of charge for members. Junior club membership is £5. Non-members are welcome at £2 per session.

Do I have to fill anything in? Please complete a consent form (DOC) for all riders and email to [email protected] in advance. For the young riders, a parent/carer must be present.

How can I find out more? See http://beaconrcc.org.uk/academy/, https://www.facebook.com/BeaconCyclingAcademy or e-mail [email protected].
