Provincial Youth MTB Team – 2018
Back for 2018, Velo NB is seeking the interest of U17 (2002-2003) and U15 (2004-2005) aged athletes, boys and girls, to form a Provincial Youth MTB Team with the possibility of expanding for U19 (2000-2001) and U13 (2006-2007) if the right athletes are identified. The overall goal of the team will be to help develop both athletes (and coaches) across the province by providing them coaching opportunities, support and a chance to train and attend races as a team at select events outside of New Brunswick. Athletes must have cycling racing experience.
