Hi Lee BMX is a great sport for youngsters to get into. If you have a look at our club finder on this website, you should hopefully be able to find a BMX club/track close by to where you live which usually run sessions weekly. A licence is not usually necessary straight away but if you join a BMX club, there is a membership promotion that provides membership and a licence free for under 16s for the first year. This will get your son access to all levels of competition from regionals through to National level.
