The Royston Rockets have
qualified to be part of British Cycling’s Club Development Programme
known as Go-Ride. It is aimed at improving both young riders and
clubs and focuses on volunteers and young members – improving
coaching standards and increasing the number of young riders with
access to coaching activities.
The Rockets have met
certain criteria to enable the club to join the programme but along
the way the club must continually work towards improving themselves
and achieving ‘best-practice’. Once all the pieces are in place, a
club aims to become Go-Ride Clubmark Accredited.
One of the main
criteria for Go-Ride Accreditation is for the club to have British
Cycling qualified coaches. They have attended a course on
Safeguarding and Protecting Children, they have a valid first-aid
certificate, and are checked by the Criminal Records Bureau.
Who
is Go Ride for?
The
Club
Go-Ride is designed for a club that is determined to improve
their club activities and management. One of the benefits, alongside
better administration, is that Go-Ride helps increase youth
membership and acts as a beacon to show that the Rockets provide a
supportive environment for young members.
Riders
Royston's Go-Ride club coaching activities are designed to
introduce young people to BMX, so whatever your age or ability,
there’ll be something to suit your needs.
Volunteers
As with any club Royston Rockets rely on the hard work of our
volunteers. These volunteers include; Coaches, Club Contacts, and
Club Welfare Officers. As a Go-Ride club we are offered training for
volunteers to help build a supportive environment for young people,
in which they can enjoy their cycling.
Families
Go-Ride clubs have something to offer everyone. They offer
opportunities to ride, regardless of your age and ability, and
opportunities to volunteer. There’s something for the whole family.
