Matlock CC Youth Team Coaching
The Club are now able to offer Matlock CC Youth and Junior riders prescribed coaching from our Level 3 coach Rob Williams, something the club has wanted to do for some time! Below are details of various levels of coaching on a sliding scale of pricing from Basic through to a 'premium' package. Club youth members will get a significant discount.
Riders / parents can email Rob on matlockcc.coaching@gmail.com to enquire and for information on costs. Note these are aimed at first claim Youth B, Youth A and Junior riders. Younger than that we don’t recommend structured training, just ride your bike and enjoy it!
There are limited places available for coaching subscription and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

A cycle GPS computer - Garmin/Wahoo or similar is also helpful and with a premium account workouts can be downloaded automatically to most devices.
Prescribed sessions will be a mix of turbo and road/off road.
