What is Search For Speed?
Program At-A-Glance
Search for Speed is a USA Cycling talent identification program designed to introduce track sprint cycling to a wider, more diverse audience throughout Los Angeles and the Southern California basin. It provides young adults with a clear, dedicated pathway to the U.S. National Cycling Team and sport of track sprint cycling.
Funded by a generous grant from the Rapha Foundation including support from LOOK Cycle and WattBike, Search for Speed breaks down entry barriers into the sport of competitive cycling, while putting National Championship, World Championship, and Olympic medals within clear view.
SEE THE IMPACT
Search for Speed hosts pop up athletic testing and recruitment programs across Los Angeles County and select national markets. These pop ups prioritize recruiting individuals from underserved populations, aiming to provide opportunities and access to those who may not typically have them.
Top performers from testing sites and recruitment programs participate in a regular series of athletic combines that provides a robust assessment of one’s athletic potential and explosive power capabilities.
Athletes that meet benchmark standards in the athletic combines are invited to participate in a progressive series of three talent development camps focused in introducing the participants to track cycling under the guidance of Olympic coaches.
Standout performers are integrated into the Track Sprint Development Pool, training for a spot on Team USA and a chance at International and Olympic success.
