• Provide subsidised equipment and kit to children and encourage this to be used and worn at all events.
• Provide an environment through coaching, guidance and training where children can safely develop their competitive cycling potential to a level appropriate to their abilities, level of fitness and commitment to the sport.
• Encourage high standards of behaviour and discipline by instituting a code of conduct and encouraging children to abide by this.
• Support children who demonstrate high levels of ability and commitment and wish to progress further in the sport to establish links with professional coaches/teams to facilitate such ambition.
