The network of Regional Coaching and Club Development
Officers work in partnership with clubs, schools,
commercial operators and voluntary organisations to
help:
· create more opportunities for young people
to participate in cycling activities
· support and strengthen the club infrastructure
to ensure continued growth and sustainability
· increase the number of coaches, officials
and volunteers in cycling and provide them with support.
Go-Ride - Who is it for?
Clubs:
Go-Ride is designed for clubs determined to improve
their club activities and management. One of the benefits,
alongside better administration, is that Go-Ride helps
clubs increase youth membership and acts as a beacon
to show that clubs provide a supportive environment
for young members.
Schools:
Go-Ride activities can be delivered in schools. A
link is established between the school and a local
Go-Ride community club. This provides a sustainable
exit route, allowing pupils to continue their cycling
interests outside of school.
Riders:
Go-Ride coaching activities have been designed to
introduce young people to a range of cycling disciplines,
such as; BMX, Cycle Speedway, Cyclo-Cross, Mountain
Biking, Road and Track Riding. So whatever your age
or ability, there will be something to suit your needs.
Volunteers:
Go-Ride clubs rely on the hard work of volunteers.
These volunteers include; Coaches, Club Contacts,
and Club Welfare Officers. Go-Ride clubs are offered
training for volunteers to help build a supportive
environment for young people, in which they can enjoy
their cycling.
Families:
Go-Ride clubs have something to offer everyone. They
offer opportunities to ride, regardless of your age
and ability, and opportunities to volunteer. There’s
something for the whole family.
