Sprockids Program
Spring is once again upon us, and the National Cycling Centre, in Dieppe, is proud to announce the start of another great season. Again in 2008, the Cycling Academy will play host to many youth learn to bike programs.
Among those, the Sprockids Program offers youth 9 to 12 years of age the opportunity, through cycling, to develop the skills, values and strategies that will benefit them throughout their lives and enable them to successfully reach their full potential.
Participants will develop skills to allow them to safely enjoy and explore the adventures of cycling. This program is the first step in an integrated participant’s development model for cycling and opens the doors to a lifetime of opportunities.
The program will start on May 3rd and run once a week (Saturday mornings) and then go until June 21st. We also invite participants from the previous years to participate in phase 2 of the program to get full certification.

... [-]minimize Want to teach cycling skills to kids in your area?[Thu Apr 29 11:27:40 PDT 2010][-]minimize Velo NB, The National Cycling Centre - Atlantic, and the Canadian Cycling Association are partnering to bring a community level introduction to cycling program to as many communities in New Brunswick as we can reach. The program is designed to introduce safe cycling skills to children aged 9 - 12 and can be taught by parents or community recreation staff as well as cyclists like yourselves. The course is called "Let's Ride" and we are excited about the potential it has to teach children good safe skills as well as introduce them to the world of organized cycling.
We need two things for this to succeed - community liaison people and course instructors in many communities. Interested? We are looking to you to become involved in this program - your level of involvement could be up to you - from someone who teaches the course to the children in their local school or youth group up to the community learning facilitator ( you would teach others how to give the course).
This course is designed to be self supporting in terms of revenue and course instructors will earn a reasonable income for their time and effort.
The GO NB program has given their backing to this launch and we are excited about the possibilities. We have two opportunities for training to become involved in this program - May 7/8 in Dieppe or May 22/23 at the Atlantic Coaching Symposium in PEI.
