Opportunity For A Successful Start
CCF's track cycling program is a multi-stage program providing young athletes age 8-18, an
opportunity for a successful start in cycling. The Start Line class is where it all begins.
CCF provides fixed-gear bicycles, helmets, quality instruction, and a world class stadium - all for free.
The program is structured so that a beginning cyclist may move forward to higher levels if he or she chooses. Coaches integrate off-bike exercises, activities, and games, to enrich the program and help athletes learn. This year-round program has been fundamental in opening up the sport to kids who otherwise may not have had the opportunity.
With a focus on the core Olympic values of excellence, friendship and respect, the track cycling program provides a clear pathway of opportunities for youth to progress from beginner to national and international level athletes.
A commitment to introducing youth to cycling and following through with a multi-stage development program is what makes CCF unique.
