Cycling Development Program
The Oval Cycling Development Program is open to kids (ages 11-16) of all abilities who share an interest in learning and developing cycling and athletic skills. Through this program we explore the fundamentals of sport, placing emphasize on continued fun, knowledge, fitness, and technique. The program works towards facilitating athletic growth and development in all cycling disciplines, including road, mountain bike, track, and cyclo cross. The program will also develop the athlete through cross training in other sports such as cross country skiing, speed skating, hiking, and other indoor and outdoor team activities (i.e., soccer, floor hockey, volleyball, etc.) During the summer, the program shifts towards providing experience in local racing of all the disciplines. The Oval Cycling Development Program is a direct link to Oval Cycling Performance Program.
