CATAMOUNT YOUTH MTB CLUB
Catamount’s Youth MTB Clubs are designed for young riders with a passion for the outdoors and mountain biking!
Ride Trails. Build Skills. Make Friends.
Catamount’s bike clubs are fun, skill-building programs designed for young riders ages 7–14 to help build confidence, improve their riding skills, and develop a lifelong love of mountain biking and the environment.
With experienced coaches, small group sizes, and access to the amazing trails of Catamount Community Forest, riders learn in a supportive, all-kids environment where progress, teamwork, and fun come first.
What a Typical Session Looks Like
Each practice blends playful and purposeful activities:
- Warm-up games and dynamic stretching
- Exciting trail rides to get hearts pumping and build endurance
- Skill sessions focused on bike handling, cornering, climbing, and descending
- On rainy or inclement weather days, sessions move indoors to focus on bike maintenance, technical skills, and hands-on learning.
We encourage riders to attend session dates and races as often as possible to get the most out of the season, make new friends, and develop lasting skills.
Race Opportunities
All club members are welcome to participate in the weekly Wednesday MTB Race at 6 PM.
