The Florida Velodrome Association, or FVA, is a non-profit organization founded in 2010 by a group of cyclists and by Jose Basulto.[1][2] The organization is dedicated to promoting awareness of the Brian Piccolo Park Velodrome. It helps to develop track cycling by running a consistent racing program for all ages.[1] FVA is also responsible for hosting competitive events at the velodrome at Brian Piccolo Park.[3] The organization is headquartered in Cooper City, Florida. The current director of the FVA is Lenny Hall.[4]

FVA is mainly funded by training session fees, race fees, and private donations. Local bicycle shops and other local businesses also help sponsor race events conducted by FVA.[5]

In 2012, FVA, in conjunction with the Memorial Healthcare System, also held a youth development clinic to allow young athletes to get involved in the sport of track cycling.[6]

Sponsors[edit]

The two current sponsors of the FVA are BMC and FPL.[7] As of May 8, 2022, FVA has also agreed to sponsor Alpha Cycling.[5]
