During the year, children from all schools are invited to participate in the FNB Schools League events in Windhoek, from u6 to u18.
At the end of the season, the top riders in categories u14 to u18 (children must be in secondary school) are invited to represent their schools and Namibia at the CycleLab Schools League Finals and Provincials in South Africa.
Namibia participated against the SA provinces, such as Gauteng, Western Province and KwaZulu Natal, and finished in 8th position out of 11 provinces.
