ARE YOU READY TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL?
2026 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. All Academy juniors can opt into a generic training plan in Training Peaks. If they are ready to build a bridge to becoming a Select, our Academy juniors may have access to some of the components of the Selects program.
Get ahead of the competition with the Avout Racing Academy!
