XXX Racing-Athletico team to hold open house for youth interested in bicycle racing
From press release December 19, 2006 Chicago Athlete
The XXX Racing-AthletiCo Junior Development Program will hold its
third annual Open House on Wednesday, Jan. 10, 2007. The meeting
will be at Goose Island Restaurant at 1800 N. Clybourn Street in
Chicago at 6:30 p.m. Youth between the ages of 10 to 18 and their
families are invited to attend to learn about bicycle racing in the Chicago
area and receive information on how to join the team.
"Our juniors program welcomes anyone who has an interest in cycling,"
says Nicole Kemerer, director of the program. "Bike racing is a growing
sport in this country but many people don't quite know how it works and
how to get involved." Juniors compete in well-known cycling disciplines
like road and mountain bike racing, as well as growing disciplines like
track racing and cyclocross. The team offers year-round elite-level
coaching and skills clinics to both beginning and experienced junior
athletes.
XXX Racing-AthletiCo strives to make bike racing accessible and
affordable - providing bicycles to all junior racers and offering
scholarships that pay for race fees and uniforms to select athletes. "We
want to provide opportunities to kids, whether their goal is to someday
win the Tour de France or simply want to meet others who like to ride,"
says Kemerer.
The XXX Racing-AthletiCo Junior Development Program is one of the
largest youth racing programs in the Midwest and is currently
recognized by USA Cycling as a Center of Excellence. In addition to
numerous State Champions, the team has helped produce two Junior
National Champions, a member of the US Paralympic Team and a
silver-medalist at the 2003 Junior World Championships. Coaching
oversight is given by Coach Randy Warren, also a National Champion.
