Welcome to the 2017 CORC Junior Development Program

The CORC Junior Development Program is designed to contribute to the preparation and development pathway for cross-country (XC) racing in club, school, state and national competitions, for junior riders aged 12 years to 18 years. The spirit of program is development in a supportive, collaborative, and confidence-building environment for riders, coaches, sponsors and parents alike.

Applications are now open for the 2017 CORC Junior Development Program. The program will run from February 2017 to October 2017.

With a focus on building on the solid team ethics created in 2015 and 2016, we aim to produce junior riders who are confident, capable and supportive riders who have highly developed skills that will enable them to become a faster and more skilled rider. Numbers will be limited to 35 for the program and entry will be assessed by the following criteria:



  • Criteria 1 – Riders have a demonstrated bike fitness and a skill ability suitable for the program, assessed before the program commences as required.

  • Criteria 2 – Riders have a demonstrated interest in racing at a consistent local level and potentially national level.

  • Criteria 3 – Riders are seeking to learn in, and contribute to, a supportive team environment

The emphasis will be on respect, responsibility, team work and integrity. Riders will be required to agree to a code of conduct prior to commencing, more information is available within this document.

All juniors are required to maintain a current MTBA licence and CORC membership for the duration of the program.

Under the guidance of Coaching Director, Peter Dowse, riders will be allocated coaches depending on the session, ability, and any other discretionary factor. At times riders may be able to choose the coach and session most suitable to their needs at the time.

The program continues through school holiday periods.



Coached Skills Sessions

Skills coaching sessions will be held every second Tuesday at Stromlo Forest Park from 4:30 to 6:00pm, with the first session commencing Tuesday 7 February 2017. Riders should be ready at 4.15pm. Meeting point is the covered Pavilion (upper level) near the carpark.

Assessment sessions may be held prior to this date if required.

Lights will be required once daylight savings ends and throughout winter. During winter, Parent tail riders* may be required to ensure the group remains together, mechanicals are attended to in a timely manner.

A decision will be made about the timing of July/August coaching sessions at a later date. Another day (possibly a weekend session) and/or alternative learning session may be suggested due to weather conditions. This will be raised with riders and parents.

Physio-based Stretch & Strengthen Sessions

PhysioSport O’Connor therapists will conduct fortnightly sessions for team members. The venue is Illeso Studio, 68 Bandjalong Crescent, Aranda (the old Aranda shop complex that now includes Two Before Ten café) and the session commences at 6.30pm sharp and closes at 7.30pm.

The first session will be held Wednesday 8 February at 6.30pm. Any changes to these dates or venue will be advised via email.

It is strongly recommended that all riders attend these sessions to assist with the prevention of injury and build strength required for mountain biking.



Group Rides

Group rides are held on the alternate Tuesday to the skills coaching session (eg week 2 of the program). The ride location will vary to allow participants to experience different terrain, tracks and use a variety of developing skills. Riders should be ready from 5.45pm and attend a ride briefing. The ride commences at 6pm, and late riders should not attempt to join the group for safety reasons. Ride location will be communicated via email the Sunday before the ride, if not earlier.

The purpose of the group ride is to consolidate the coaching session learning and ride together with team members. It is not a race. Groups will be created based on rider safety. Lights will be required once daylight savings ends and throughout winter. Parent riders* are required to ensure the group remains together, mechanicals are attended to in a timely manner. Safety comes first during our evening group rides and some rides may be cancelled due to weather conditions, or location changed at late notice.

Information Sessions

Throughout the program, information sessions will be presented to provide the riders with broader knowledge about riding, wellbeing and racing. These will be included in the program fees and may include (but are not limited to) bike mechanics, first aid for mountain bikers, training plans, sports nutrition, sports psychology, strength and conditioning, race preparation and etiquette, public speaking/media presentation, social media responsibilities. These details will be sent out via email once finalised.

Helmet - Australian Standards approved

Water bottle

Riding gloves

Appropriate clothing – often layering is best
