Monarchs Speedway Academy continues to go from strength to strength in offering opportunities for young people to try out and develop as speedway riders. Find out how young people can get involved now!

Since its inception two season ago, Monarchs Speedway Academy (MSA) has become a hotbed of youth speedway action as more and more young people try out the sport for the first time.

Based at Armadale Stadium on the specially constructed centre green mini-track, this perfectly sized track is the perfect way for young people to take up the sport. This track underwent improvement works ahead of this season to widen the surface to further boost rider development.

MSA has also continued to develop off-track also and is now pleased to be able to offer a limited selection of bikes and personal safety equipment so that youngsters can now get involved regardless of whether they have any of their own equipment or not.

This is a big step which opens up the MSA further so that inclusive opportunities are available to all.

Coaching is offered from former riders David McAllan, Sean Stoddart and James Grieves - three highly experienced coaches who are all PVG licensed.

Kids who develop through the MSA will also have opportunities for competitive racing, with many kids already progressing to race for Monarchs youth teams at Northern Junior League level.

Sessions run at Armadale Stadium every fortnight and newcomers aged 5 to 15 are encouraged to get involved. Find out more details now:

Anyone aged 16 or over, with their own protective equipment and previous experience of other formats of motorcycle racing, is also welcome to try out speedway on a 150cc bike on the mini-track before purchasing their own bike.

The next session takes place at Armadale Stadium this Saturday 20th May from midday to 2pm and is open to any young person who is interested in coming along to see a session in progress with a view to taking part in future.
