BIKE SHOP
Have your own 2Wheel Academy Team
To ensure the long-term success of the program there are some key elements that all teams must have. These include:
Local Bike Shop – will act as the “clubhouse” and will provide support to riders as well as access to senior and elite role models for riders to learn from. Each shop will nominate a liaison person to coordinate with the team. This liaison will also be the direct contact with the Academy.
Local MTB club – clubs provide the organisational support and infrastructure to ensure there are good trails to ride as well as a range of races and events for participation. While we encourage riders to participate in any event they wish, supporting their local MTB club is a priority.
Team Manager – a responsible adult will be nominated from each team to help ensure the smooth running of the team. They will ensure team members meet and ride together regularly as well as coordinating team entries to events etc.
6 riders, aged between 12-18 years old. Each rider must have their own bike (obviously), be an MTBA member and linked to a local club.
Team Sponsors - how does it work?
1. Does every team have to have a sponsor?
2. What does it cost?
3. What does this get?
Obviously you’ll also get the satisfaction of knowing you’re not just helping your team but the Academy itself. Who knows, one of your riders could one day be the next big thing – like former TORQ riders – World Cup winner Dan McConnell or Tour Down Under stage winner Steele von Hoff. Imagine being a part of that journey?
Let us know your size and we’ll organise a Team Supporter Polo for you as well
