How do you join Southern Junior?
Interested in joining our team? We don’t blame you. Southern Junior has been set up to help excite, encourage and develop young riders reach their full road cycling potential, based on their aspirations and ability. This will mean different outcomes for each rider, but it also means that we offer plenty of coaching, support and benefits to those lucky enough to be asked to join the team.
If you are considering applying, please read the following notes carefully:
- At present, we’re focussed on U17 and U19 riders. If you are an U15 rider, please have a good read of this website, continue to build up your experience, and get in touch when you are moving into the U17 age group.
- Please read our detailed page outlining our approach. There you will find an overview of:
- Why the team was set up
- Our focus on attitude and values first, racing and results second
- Some brief notes about our coaching methodology
- How we approach training and racing – particularly, our “less is better” approach
- Our “Riders Give Back” programme
- There is a great deal of information on this page – please read it through a few times.
