Juniors
We run regular weekly junior training sessions on Saturdays, Mondays and Fridays.
We take children from the year they are 8, until the year they are 16.
Please contact the junior membership secretary via the "Contact us" page before coming along to our training sessions.
Saturday morning sessions run from 8 am until 10am at mainly at Impington Village College, with some sessions at Waterbeach barracks.
We have three ability-based training squads which follow different programmes on Saturdays (Caimans, Crocs and Dragons*). On cycling weeks you will need to bring your bike, cycling kit and running shoes.
Please try to arrive by 7.50am so you have time to lock up your bike, get changed and be ready to start at 8am. Cost is £2.50.
