WORLD Speedway Champion Tai Woffinden wants to help a new generation of British youngsters realise their dream.

Woffinden has revealed plans for a series of training schools he is planning throughout the UK later this year.

The Scunthorpe-born racer insists there are some talented young riders waiting to surge onto the scene and take to the sport’s big stage.

He’s also revealed how he has held positive discussions with British Speedway Promoters’ Association Chairman Keith Chapman about the project.

“I’m planning to hold a series of Tai Woffinden training schools for British youngsters through the summer,” he said.

“Over the last 10-years I’ve learnt loads, probably quicker than a lot of guys I started out with, and I would like to pass that on – I want to work with the kids because they are the future of the sport in our country.

“I’ve spoken to Keith Chapman, the new Chairman of British Speedway, and he welcomes my ideas which is great.

“It’s something I’m interested in doing and new projects like this always excite me.

We may set an age limit of 21, we may also do a classroom session as part of the day to discuss fitness and diet.

“I’m looking at three different tracks, King’s Lynn being one of them, and work at tracks a different shape and size to vary the experience and learning for the kids.

“The final dates, venues and cost will be confirmed in due course, but I really look forward to working with the young British riders.

“I know the BSPA are doing some great work alongside Olly Allen and the guys at Poultec and I’m really positive about the direction we’re taking. Running my own training days just allows me to give something back myself and give some personal tuition.”
