FREE cycle coaching open to youth and junior riders (U18). Delivered by British Cycling qualified coaches.

The coaching consists of a group riding and skills session to equip young riders with both handling and racing techniques. Riders are asked to be able to ride their bikes without stabilisers in order to participate, however, coches are happy for riders to use ‘balance bikes’ or normal bikes with pedals removed. Assistance will be provided – where possible – for rider transition from balance bike ‘scoot’ to ‘pedalling’ – depending on coach availability.

• Schedule: 09:00-09:15 ‘Sign on’. 09:15-11:30 Main session. By 12:00 all riders and ‘support crew’ clear of site (10-minute mid-session break).
• A bike, clothing & helmet check will be carried out prior to the session and ‘signing-on’ for the British Cycling List of Attendees.
• The cost for the coaching session is FREE.
• If any parents wish to make a small contributory payment they can , which will be put towards further kit and our Christmas prizes for ‘Best Decorated Bike’ and ‘Best Decorated Rider’.
• A Parental Consent Form (Traffic-free Coaching) is required for new riders – if you haven’t prviously completed a form use this link to download the form, print it off, complete it and bring it to the session – or there will be spare forms onsite that can be completed on the day.
• Car parking available for the ‘support vehicles’
• Toilet facilities available nearby – the front of the Main Building (looks like a tented area) where you may find Subway and Starbucks.
• Support Crew to remain on site please.

To drive to Car Park A, you have to pass along the main carparks and turn right (Car Park A is signposted). Once you get to the back road take the right turn (sign posted Car Park A) then at the end of the road, drive through the open red-flashing barrier to the car park – thank you. Relatively easy to get to – exit Junction 12 and turn right towards Cosham/Portsmouth. Leaving the first roundabout for Lakeside. (If you pass the Porsche garage, you’ve missed the site.)

Year three of the Lakeside Cup is on it’s way as Lakeside occupiers get ready for more friendly competition at the Lakeside Cup 2026 Five-a-Side Football Tournament on Wednesday 3 June 2026.

For teams of all abilities the competition plays out between 12noon to 4pm at the King George V Football Complex — next to Lakeside.

Who will be crowned 2026 champions. Last year saw Astute take the title following on from Carrington West in year one. Will we see new contenders enter the playing field to challenge for the title, will old rivals push for glory or will we see a former champion lift the cup again.

The Lakeside Cup is the perfect opportunity for everyone working at the Lakeside Business Campus to come together, whether you’re on the pitch playing or cheering from the side-lines. Companies are invited to assemble their best five-a-side teams (five players plus three reserves) and compete for the prestigious Lakeside Trophy. That’s not all – there are also vouchers up for grabs, all players will receive a free lunch and the player who stands out the most will be awarded the Player of the Tournament prize!

The tournament is open to mixed teams of all abilities – everyone is welcome to join in the fun. Following on from last years successful knockout style tournament this year will follow the same format allowing each team to play at least three games. We encourage colleagues to come along and support their teams. The more, the merrier!

Best of all, this event is completely free for all Lakeside occupiers and staff. We are asking Lakeside businesses to rally their teams, and get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of sport and camaraderie.

Thanks to our partners Hampshire Football Association for supporting this event.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic event—let’s make the Lakeside Cup 2026 another one to remember.
