Our two Year 10 Sports Development classes recently headed to Cambridge for a visit to the Avantidrome, where students got the chance to experience what it is like to train and perform in a world-class cycling facility.
The highlight of the day was definitely getting out on the velodrome track. For many students, this was their first time riding on a banked indoor track, it was great to see everyone willing to step outside their comfort zone to have a go! Once they got going, the students quickly gained confidence and had a great time riding around the track.
Students also had the opportunity to visit the High Performance Lab, where they learnt about how athletes are tested and monitored. They got to have a play with some of the testing equipment and see some of the technology used to help high-performance athletes improve.
It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to try something new, learn more about high-performance sport and, most importantly, have a lot of fun along the way.
