The Programme and its Sponsors
Now entering its seventh year, the Eastern Suburbs Junior Sports Academy has been warmly received by both participating sponsors and our local youth. ES Junior Sports Academy has the very simple goal of getting kids on bikes in order to teach them correct bike skills, riding safely within a group and general road safety in a fun and friendly environment.

Throughout the first half of 2007, Eastern Suburbs Cycling Club approached both corporate and local businesses in the hope they would join in the spirit of the project and assist us with much needed financial support. We are proud to say we have had a 100% success rate with the familiar names we approached. Read more about our generous sponsors on our Sponsors Page.

Financial Sponsorship has allowed us to invest in bicycles and bicycle related equipment in order to promote the project to our local youth and their parents as a free alternative to other various sporting activities currently on offer.

The Aim of the Programme
Children who do not possess a bike of their own or would like to gain experience riding a racing bike are welcome to make use of our equipment each week at our cycling sessions. The use of the equipment is offered free of charge, as are the one hour weekly training sessions (please note we are currently at full capacity with regard to our supply of bikes - places are however, available for children with their own racing bike). It is our aim to expose the members of the ES Junior Sports Academy to the many cycling events in and around Sydney, encouraging them to participate in club races and social fun rides as a proud member of our cycling programme.

Session Details
Sessions are currently held at Heffron Bike Track each Tuesday afternoon from 4.00pm - 5.30pm. The Heffron Summer Series (for seniors) takes place from the beginning of daylight savings. We take the opportunity to invite the children to remain after their training and watch the senior riders participate in this exciting annual event.

Wet Weather Line
In the event of inclement weather you can call the ESCC Weather Line on 0424 824 959 at 2pm Tuesday afternoon. Please do not leave a message as calls will not be returned. It is an information line only.

Please Contact Us
The last thing we want to do is disappoint an eager face on the day, so if you would like your child to participate in our cycling programme, please be sure to download the ES Junior Sports Academy Information Pack and email it through to us so that we can confirm both the availability of a bike and the date of your childs' first session. Contact us and help us to get more kids in Sydney on bikes!
