Frazier Cycling provides development of youngsters by teaching them road cycling skills. Our staff uses positive reinforcement and motivation to encourage and develop these young cyclists.  FC Kids range from the ages of 7 to 14.  FC Juniors range from the ages of 15 to 18.

Our students are groomed for competitive cycling.  The program is not recreational cycling.  The Frazier Cycling Kids/Juniors are taught traffic safety and behavior, group riding and teamwork, competency improvements, basic equipment information, and fun!

From March to October, the concentration of the fitness program is by means of cycling and running.  During the off-season (November - February), the program focuses on strength conditioning with the addition of plyometrics, sit-ups, push ups, standing broad jump, medicine ball throws, wheelbarrow races, and resistance bands.

Frazier Cycling Youth Programs

Frazier Cycling's Advanced Youth Program includes the growth and development of two youth racing teams: road and track.

Frazier Cycling's Intermediate Program targets sport enthusiasts and promotes competitive fitness for our youth.

The Primary Program targets beginners.
