Kiwi Sprocket Rocket is the name given to the modified form of BMX for riders 7 years and under. The concept was originally developed within BMX in 1994 by BMX NSW as a competition based program, but has since been expanded very successfully into a skill development program by Bicycle Motocross Australia Inc. in conjunction with the Australian Junior Sports Policy. BMX New Zealand Inc. has further adapted the program for introduction into New Zealand with reference to the SPARC’s KiwiSport guidelines as adopted by more than 30 other national sporting bodies.
The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Program is made up of three (3) major programs being;
• The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Club Program;
• The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Participation and Skills Award Program, and
• The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Coaching Skills Award Program.
The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Program presents young BMX riders with the opportunity to become involved in a skill based BMX program that caters to their size, skill and interests. Most importantly the program aims to lift the profile of the modified form of BMX and its benefits in terms of psycho-social and physical development of junior BMXers. The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Programme has two publications to help support the programme, The Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Guide Book and the Kiwi Sprocket Rocket Skills Award Log Book.
