Balance bike and athletics training for young children
Children can start balance biking with us from age 2 and add athletics from age 4 to 5. Classes are small, grouped by age and ability, and run at venues across Hong Kong. The balance, coordination and confidence they build on the bike carry straight into running and jumping, so whichever sport they choose later, they are already a step ahead.

Programmes
Two sports, each started at the right age
Balance bike
For many children, a balance bike is their first sport. Our classes build balance, focus and coordination, then move on to fast starts, straight-line speed and cornering.
- Four levels: Starter, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced
- Coaches adjust each session to your child's progress
- No experience needed; most new riders start in the Starter class
- Bring a full-face helmet, knee pads and elbow pads. No bike yet? Hire one for an extra HK$50
Athletics
Classes begin with the basics of running and jumping, building fitness and good habits, then progress to sprint technique, starts and hurdles.
- Most classes start at age 5; some take children from age 4
- Children train with others at a similar level, following a structured plan
- Children in a regular balance bike class get a multi-sport rate on 8-lesson athletics packages
- Bring comfortable sportswear, trainers and plenty of water

Junior Skills class
- Up to 3 children per class
- Focused work on starts, cornering and bike control

Elite class

The Junior Skills and Elite classes are open to current Team Futura students. Riders who had taken at least three Elite classes before a race finished in the top three over four times as often as other riders (37% against 8% per race, across four open races from September to November 2026).
