A $10,000 grant award will help the USA Official BMX Training Facility open its gates to riders. This NBL-sanctioned facility will host clinics, training sessions, and events for riders of all levels—from beginners to Olympic hopefuls—throughout the Tampa area and beyond.

Local shops are thrilled about the BMX buzz this project has created and expect a surge of new riders once the track is complete. The dedicated, all-volunteer board of the USA Official BMX Training Facility (a nonprofit organization) also hopes to build mountain bike trails on the 60-acre site, which was donated to them by the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department.
