Our Circuit Race Masterclass 2026 is back — delivering some of the most comprehensive youth road race training in the UK for young riders aged 10–16 who want to improve their race skills, confidence and tactical understanding.

We’re unique in that we run year-round race training sessions, not just one-off camps. Our coaching team includes ex-professional cyclists and current elite racers, giving young riders access to genuine race-proven knowledge. We also actively support a team of youth riders, helping them progress through the racing pathway.

If you’re looking for one of the best environments in the UK to learn the technical and tactical elements of circuit racing, this masterclass is the perfect place to start — or to level up.

The Circuit Race Masterclass is a full-day race-focused training session designed specifically for young road cyclists. The day combines:

• Structured coaching
• Practical race skills
• Tactical learning
• Real race scenarios

The goal is simple: help young riders race smarter, safer and more confidently.

These sessions are ideal for riders who:

• Are new to circuit racing
• Want to improve their race craft
• Are racing regularly and want to gain a competitive edge

Throughout the day, riders will work on the key skills needed for successful circuit racing, including:

• Effective race warm-ups and preparation
• Cornering technique and bike handling
• Group riding and positioning
• Sprint skills and speed control
• Understanding race tactics and decision-making
• How to read a race and respond to attacks
• Safe and confident riding at speed

The morning focuses on skills and drills, while the afternoon introduces coach-led races where riders can apply what they’ve learned in realistic race situations. Between races, coaches provide feedback and tactical guidance to reinforce learning.

• Time: 10:00 – 16:00
• Location: Doncaster Dome Cycle Track
• Age Range: 10–16
• Ability Level: Suitable for riders interested in racing, from beginners to experienced youth racers
• Price £65

Riders don’t need to race non-stop all day. Sessions are broken up with rest periods, coaching discussions and skills work to keep learning effective and enjoyable.

To get the most out of the day, riders should bring:

• A road bike in good working order
• Spare inner tube and basic tools
• Helmet (mandatory)
• Packed lunch and high-energy snacks
• Plenty of drinks
• Weather-appropriate clothing (layers, waterproofs)
• Gloves or mitts
• Sun cream

Being well prepared helps riders stay focused and comfortable throughout the session.

We don’t just coach — we develop racers.

What sets us apart is our year-round commitment to youth race training. Our riders train with us consistently, not just at occasional events. This allows us to build skills progressively and support long-term development.

Our coaching team’s experience as former professionals and current elite racers means young riders learn not only how to ride fast, but how to think like racers. We focus on:

• Technical skill development
• Tactical understanding
• Confidence in bunch racing
• Long-term progression and enjoyment of the sport

This approach has made us one of the leading destinations for youth road racing coaching in the UK.

Many riders use the Circuit Race Masterclass as a stepping stone into:

• Weekly race training sessions
• Ongoing youth development programmes
• Supported racing opportunities

Whether your goal is first-time racing or progressing through the youth racing ranks, this masterclass is an excellent foundation.
