After a long three months of lockdown, we are really looking forward to restarting our Saturday youth coaching sessions as restrictions are eased on 28th March.
A big thank you to Jez and Jon for running the twice weekly Zwift sessions throughout the lockdowns, this has been a great way to keeping the youths engaged and their fitness over these times. Our Zwift sessions will end once we return to face-to-face coaching.
Like most of the last year we will be following Government, British Cycling & Active Nation guidelines. Full instructions will be emailed to those signed up to the series, one to two days before each Saturday coaching session. This will detail the areas your rider is allocated to, along with our own guidelines for riders and parents.
Road and CX Coaching
We are hoping that over the next few weeks we’ll be nearer to sharing news of our coaching for road, probably at Winchester P&R and also, our Thursday CX/fitness coaching at Southampton Sports Centre.
