2024 Avout Racing Selects
Do You Dream of Cycling?
We are currently reviewing applications from an awesome group of athletes.
If you think you have what it takes, we would still like you to apply!
The Avout Racing Selects is a small group of passionate, competitive athletes ages thirteen to U23, with the option to be coached by Ben Ollett. Our mission is to set up our Selects athletes for professional cycling once they leave the junior ranks. We have crafted a program that includes individual training programs, intensive practice sessions, building tactical knowledge of the sport, and racing as often as possible. The athletes who are selected for this program volunteer in their local communities and maintain a high grade point average in school.
The Selects application process will be just that – selective. We want to assemble a strong group of juniors ready to take on the local and national stage. Do you have what it takes? Apply HERE.
