because some riders might only need one or two sessions, because everyone is different, because a strict and long time rule will discourage instead of encourage.
The goal should be to get them to as high a standard of riding (skills and fitness) as quickly as possible with the resources available shouldn't it?
Forcing people to stay in novices will perpetuate the problem of the groups being too large....encouraging riders of slightly higher standard to take their track riding further may boost the numbers at track leagues, which, who knows may lead to a return to two leagues a week......the then smaller novice groups means greater safety and better quality coaching....meaning people progress quicker and are encouraged to take their track riding further...maybe boosting numbers at track league etc, etc.
