The Battle of the Schools is back for another year and is an epic teambuilding challenge!
On May 11th, the 6-week training block starts, and your team can select a preferred training time. During this course, Velodrome coaches will help you get ready for race day, all whilst ticking off accreditation modules so you can learn to ride on the track with confidence!
On Sunday 21st June, we will all come together for race day! Think fun racing with your friends, food trucks, music, face-painting and prizes!
The Battle of the Schools is for everyone in school years 5-13 (and over 135cm tall), whether you have ridden the track before or not! Our coaches teach you all the necessary skills to turn you and your team into track cycling super stars. The accredited riders amongst you will be able to help your teammates whilst dialing in on some speed.
Your accreditation is built into the 6 weeks of training and entry cost. Providing you complete all the necessary skills; our coaches will sign you off, enabling you to become a regular track rider where you have the option to join in the Grassroots Trust Velodrome’s after school junior program and so much more!
