Coaching

A fun and safe way to introduce young riders to the world of cycle sport — building bike handling skills and confidence, one Saturday at a time.

About the sessions

Saturday Coaching Sessions

HCC is a Go Ride club, and our coaching sessions give young riders a fun and safe way to get into cycle sport. The sessions are built around bike handling skills — but first and foremost, they're about having fun.

Everyone takes part as one group, working on the same core skills regardless of ability. Alongside the general skills work, we also introduce more advanced techniques from Cyclocross and Road Racing for riders ready for the next step.

"The sessions teach the necessary skills to make riders more competent, safer cyclists — whilst having fun."

When, where & what to bring

Schedule

Saturdays, 14:30–15:30

Held at Holmfirth High School (top car park). We occasionally run sessions at circuits instead, along with ad-hoc kids' rides and visits to a BMX track — these replace the usual session when they're on.

Requirements

Must already be able to ride

Young riders need to be able to ride a bike unaided to join a session. As sessions are held on grass, any bike used will need knobbly tyres.

Kit

Bike, brakes & helmet

  • Any type of bike, in good condition
  • Two working brakes
  • Knobbly tyres (sessions run on grass)
  • A cycling helmet — always worn
Cost

One free taster session

Your first session at Holmfirth High School is free. To keep coming after that, your child will need to join Holmfirth Cycling Club as a junior member — £5.00 per year.
