Sotonia Youth is part of Sotonia Cycling Club, one of the largest clubs on the South coast.\u00a0<\/span>Based in Southampton, we started coaching in 2015 and are a British Cycling Go-Ride affiliated club. We are focused on developing young riders whether they want to get more out of their riding for fun or want to be competitive aged 6-16. Sessions are run by our nine British Cycling qualified coaches and other volunteer helpers in road, cyclocross and mountain bike disciplines. <\/span><\/p>\n

All sessions are listed on the club calendar and can change from week to week. Always check the calendar and newsletter for up to date information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday Go-ride Skills Coaching<\/span><\/h3>\n

Go-ride skills coaching sessions are run throughout the year in a traffic free environment to develop the core skills for fun, safe and fast cycling. We concentrate on challenging children as individuals and progressing as a group. <\/span><\/p>\n

The coaching sessions are 9.30am-11am every Saturday at Southampton Sports Centre and are open to 6-16 year olds, with riders grouped by ability. All riders will need is a well-maintained bike of any variety, and a helmet. Off road tyres are preferable especially during the winter months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday coaching sessions focus on:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Core bike handling skills
\n\u2022 Group riding skills
\n\u2022 Safety
\n\u2022 Improved riding for recreation or competition
