ARE YOU READY TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL?
Avout Racing Academy
Our race-focused Academy program develops cyclists (ages 10-18) by focusing on the most critical elements of competitive athletic development in a supportive environment. That means we spend a lot of time working on the skills, fitness, and mental focus needed to improve results in competition. Our curriculum is designed to continually challenge riders to improve, master different aspects of riding, and build self-confidence.
Academy riders should be committed to their cycling growth. While most may already be racing, it is not required. What is essential is a love of riding and a desire to improve.
The Academy program moves from “recreational fun” riding to a more competitive approach via our twice-weekly practices. Academy riders may have access to certain components of the Selects National Team if they are ready.
