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.
