Coasters Kids Coaching sessions offers sports cycle coaching in a traffic-free environment and provide a fantastic foundation for a lifetime of cycling. For under 12s, they are much more straightforward for us to run than group rides. Most importantly, coaching is great fun and the kids absolutely love it!

Sprockets, Chainrings & Wheels (under 12 years)

Our coaching sessions are the main activities we run for these groups (see this term's programme). ​Skills taught include braking, cornering, use of gears, climbing, descending, group riding, etc. ​ All three groups normally meet on Saturdays at 11am at St Minver School for one hour. Parents are very welcome to stay to spectate - and perhaps help out.

Riders (12+ years)

We do not currently run coaching sessions specifically for our Riders group (they go on rides instead). However, they are very welcome to join in with adult coaching sessions.

My daughter has completed her first term of Coasters Kids, her riding has improved no end thanks to the professional coaching instead of picking up my bad habits! It's refreshing to see a course that isn't just about cycling proficiency but introducing the kids to all the different forms of competition they can get involved in. She can't wait for the mud in cyclocross! (John Crossley)

PLEASE NOTE: 
  • The cycle coaching delivered at Coasters Kids is NOT about road safety and is not the same as Bikeability training. Our coaching is largely about introducing young people to cycling as a sport, including racing. Having said that, most of the skills taught will of course be very useful for everyday leisure and utility cycling.
  • Coasters Kids is not suitable for children who cannot pedal without stabilisers.  If you'd like some help getting your little one on two wheels, you may be interested in Ready Set Ride, or try Cycle Training Cornwall.
  • Coasters Kids will be learning to ride their bikes at speed, which is not without risk (like any sport). However,  Coasters Kids is an official British Cycling Go Ride Club, so all our activities are risk assessed, insured and run by qualified British Cycling coaches with first aid certificates and DBS clearance.

If you have any questions, please contact Phil Keymer.
My children are much more confident cyclists and so many more skills and techniques to learn rather than just riding a bike! (Katherine Callis)
