Sulis Scorpions Girls

Hello!

We are excited to welcome you to our girls-only sessions. A welcoming and inclusive space where girls can have fun, make new friends and improve their bike riding skills.

WHY GIRLS ONLY SESSIONS?

Sometimes it can be intimidating for girls to ride in mixed groups, especially when there are fewer girls around. At Sulis Scorpions, we’re passionate about helping girl bike riders build their confidence and feel strong in their own bodies. 

Cycling is so much more than just getting fit. It helps girls find balance, focus better at school, sleep better and feel proud of themselves.

As a British Cycling Focus Group, we’re committed to creating more opportunities for girls and increasing girl membership by offering these girls-only spaces. We are also keen to encourage more girls to race by making it fun from a young age. Girls that race share a wonderful sense of camaraderie and support, which really boosts their resilience and sense of belonging. We are also happy to welcome all riding styles and make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported.

WHAT DO THE SESSIONS INVOLVE?

  • Ages 6–18.

  • Safe, supervised rides with kind and encouraging coaches.

  • Sessions led by female coaches, occasionally male coaches will join. We think this is important to keep connections when the girls are in mixed groups.

  • We split the groups to suit different ages and skill levels. Where possible we merge the younger girls with the older ones so the younger girls can see future versions of themselves. It’s also an opportunity for the older girls to develop new demonstrating and communication skills.

  • We like to wrap things up with a fun game.

  • We encourage mums to come trackside and help with any sessions - please just ask the coach.
