The Wallace Warriors are the junior section of Stirling Bike Club for boys and girls aged 8-17. The club has British Cycling’s Go Ride accreditation and Clubsport Stirling’s charter club status.
This means we have appropriate policies & procedures in place for the children to have a safe and rewarding experience.
It is our team of experienced British Cycling qualified coaches, who have completed child protection training, first aid training, and have Disclosure Scotland PVG checks, who deliver the sessions.
In various locations around Stirling, contact warriors@stirlingbikeclub.org.uk for further information.
Sessions for the younger/less experienced Warriors are all OFF-ROAD and mostly involve games and exercises to develop handling/race skills and cycle fitness. It’s all meant to be fun and introduce children to cycling as a sport rather than just a pastime or means of transport.
As their endurance and Skill levels improve the sessions progress to getting out at the weekends for longer more challenging off road rides (for the mountain bikers) and longer more challenging road rides (for the road bikere) in and around Stirling to help develop their skills
Activities are fun, exciting and challenging for newcomers and more experienced riders alike. Young people will learn essential cycling skills that will make them safer, better and faster than their friends.
Progression through the coaching levels is based on ability with is carried out as required to help ensure your Warrior is continually developing their bike skills and having fun.
More details on the activities delivered to the children and the ability levels of the coaching groups can be found by clicking on the Skill Levels button below.
