Elite Athlete Programme

Scottish Cycling's Elite Athlete Programme is a training based support programme that support athletes with a realistic potential to win a Commonwealth medal in the next Commonwealth Games.

Athletes must show considerable commitment to their sport and have the ability to race independently in the UK or abroad.

Athletes are supported by professional coaching staff from Scottish Cycling and also receive needs based support from the sportscotland Institute of Sport.

The Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014 will be a natural focus for Scottish Athletes over the next four year. Scottish Cycling will be aiming to have the biggest and most successful squad ever in Glasgow and are looking for athletes that feel they have the potential to win medals.

Scottish Cycling are working with the sportscotland Institute of Sport's Talent ID Manager to run a series of programmes focussing on talented athletes transferring to cycling. The Gold 4 Glasgow programme will support Scottish Cycling in its goal to be a top 5 nation in Glasgow.

If you feel you have the talent (it doesn't matter if you have never competed in cycling) and the mindset to learn a lot quickly and the drive and determination to train and compete hard over the next 4 years get in touch here
