At the beginning of the season our Coaching Co-Ordinator will advise you which group you/your child will be in.
Sprockets & Beginners – Those riders new to BMX just learning the skills and those riders starting in the BMXNZ Sprocket Programme. If you are uncertain of your child’s ability. we recommend starting here.
Sprockets & Juniors – Those Junior and advanced Sprocket riders who have a few seasons riding.
Intermediate – These are the advanced Junior riders with competitive racing experience aged approx. 9-13 yrs.
Senior – all adult riders including the Senior Advanced riders and skilled 14+yrs riders.
All abilities are catered for as we work on gate starts, race strategy, and fitness. Sometimes we have low key racing with the emphasis on fun.
Everyone is put into ability groups, so if you are just starting out, you will be placed in a group with others who are also trying out the sport or of a similar age and ability as you.
Trainings last approximately one hour.
Check the website or Facebook page for more information on the dates of club training each season and during the season for weather cancellations.
