Cyclocross Club Expansion Grant p/b Feedback Sports

Program Overview

USA Cycling, in collaboration with Feedback Sports, is launching the Cyclocross Club Expansion Grant to grow the discipline of cyclocross nationwide. This initiative will provide selected clubs with equipment packages and financial support to help attract young riders and introduce them to regional and national-level competition. Over the next three years, the goal is to increase the number of cyclocross development clubs by at least 20%.

Each selected club will receive essential tools from Feedback Sports, including bike stands, trainers, and toolkits, along with funding to help launch or expand programs and strengthen community engagement. The program will also tap into the expertise of the cyclocross community to provide mentorship and support for long-term success.

USA Cycling will include a complimentary club membership and coaching license for each team.
