GIVE IT A GO! TASTER SESSIONS THIS SUMMER

Have you always wanted to try bobsleigh or skeleton but not known how?

Has the idea or cost of travelling out to an ice track stopped you in your tracks?

Or has the thought of wearing a Lycra race suit in freezing temperatures put you off the prospect of trying something new?!

Well, there is a way you can experience our sports without worrying about any of the above…

We are running a series of taster sessions this summer at the home of British Bobsleigh & Skeleton in Bath, giving you the perfect opportunity to see how it’s done. 

These two-and-a-half-hour sessions take place at our new and improved push track at the University of Bath, the only track of its kind in the country.

You’ll receive world-class coaching from current GB athletes, who will show you the tricks of the trade, pass on tips and advice to improve your technique and answer all your questions on the sport.

Speed is at the heart of both bobsleigh and skeleton so you’ll have plenty of time to test yourself against the clock once you’ve learnt the basics.

Sessions are open to complete beginners and no experience of the sports is required. But, if you've attended a session before, you're more than welcome to come again - we'll make sure you start where you left off so you'll make even more progress second time around.

You don't have to be super fit to take part, either - we tailor your session to your capabilities and you are more than welcome to take a breather or slow things down whenever you want. If you do pick things up quickly, though, you won't be held back by others who aren't quite so confident - we'll help you kick on at your own speed.

The adult sessions are for those aged 16 and above (see details on a junior session below) but there is no upper age limit. We've had an 84-year-old member enjoy a bobsleigh session in recent years so please don't be put off if you are eligible for a bus pass.

We cater for all different shapes and sizes but if you have any concerns about your ability to take part, please don't hesitate to get in touch direct.

We promise you’ll have a great time and, you never know, it might just encourage you to pull on the Lycra, brave the weather, save the pennies and join us out on ice some time in the future.
