The Rockets Children'S Motorcycle Display Team C.I.C.

This financial year The Rockets Children's Motorcycle Display Team grew in size and included 21 children trained to ride a motorcycle. We performed our display at over 13 different showgrounds all around the country, entertaining thousands of people. The main base for training remains @ Lasham Airfield in Hampshire, training is conducted weekly during the winter period. As part of our commitment to the local community, we also attended local events and promoted the local area. This year we have been part of Alton Thank You Day and 2Excel Engineering Ltd’s families day. The emphasis behind The Rockets is still very much working and supporting children to understand, learn and develop the importance of teamwork and their attitude. Discipline and general life skills form a fundamental part of our training. We focus on individuals both on and off their bikes, from behaviour, respect, to commitment and dedication. Teaching them to ride a motorcycle comes from a strong foundation of these essential skills. The children very quickly learn they are part of something special, something they are all immensely proud of. In turn, children gain and build confidence, which leads to strong interpersonal skills. As an all-inclusive team we are able make adjustments for a varying range of disabilities. We are proud that no one is excluded by disability, gender, or social standing, we are inclusive to all.
