Track Training
Track is back!
Training is on again from May 13th 2018 at the Anna Meares Velodrome.
This year we are changing our approach. The challenge in the past has been delivering on a training program where the coaches were never certain who would be attending. Knowing in advance the rider and skill level will give the coaches the best chance to design a program to get us race ready. To achieve this, we are looking for upfront commitment and the best way to achieve that is upfront payment. The first block of training is for 8 weeks and will focus on skills such as bunch riding, handling and tactical skills that are essential for both road and track riders rather than strength training as we are aware that you are into your road racing during the winter. If you are a new or an experienced rider, developing these skills will improve your racing both on and off the track.
Our coach, Dave Wadsworth, holds a level 1 accreditation and currently trains the JETS riders and junior State level riders. Wadsy will cater to rider of all ages and skill level.
The trainings session will be held at AMV, Sundays 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Eight weeks of training is $160. Bargain!
Here are the training session dates:
