Program Length (Sessions)*
How many sessions are being offered? The HopOn After-School program is designed to include 1 session/week, for 3-6 weeks. The optimal duration is 6 weeks. If you wish to offer a program greater than 6 sessions or that meets more than once a week, please contact us to explore how best to create a Youth Club instead. What is the difference between an HopOn After-School and Youth Club program? Youth Clubs include programs that meet for 8-16 weeks and can include 1-2 sessions per week. Youth Club participants must hold a full $65-75 Cycling BC Membership.
Participant Total Cost*
What is the cost to participants? If you wish to offer a free program, please note, all instructors must hold a valid Cycling BC membership ($65/yr), and this program is designed to create value for cycling coaching in your area.

Drop-in Allowed?*
We do not recommend activating drop-in options for most programs due to the greater administrative cost on the part of you, the lead instructor. However, in certain circumstances, drop-in is very beneficial.
