Overview

A BMX racing week coached by two-time Olympic champion Maris Strombergs. The camp runs for 5 days at a venue we will confirm soon. Each day mixes gate, track and testing.

On the first morning every athlete is assessed and placed in a group at their level. Coaches give each athlete feedback at the end of the day, and the notes go into their Xsports profile.

FAQ

How are the groups decided?
By age and by what the coaches see in the first-morning assessment. Elite and development groups train separately. If a coach thinks an athlete would do better in the other group, they'll move them and tell you.
Can I cancel or move the booking?
Cancellation is free up to 60 days before the camp. After that you can move the booking to another child or another camp from your account, or keep it as credit.
What should we pack?
The packing list goes into your account 14 days before camp, with the final schedule and the check-in QR code.
Who looks after full-board athletes?
Certified staff are with them around the clock, and a camp manager stays at the hotel.
