Youth MTB Skills Clinic: Free Pre-Season Clinic + Coach Training Day
Description
Youth MTB Skills Clinic (Ages 6–14)
Free Pre-Season Clinic + Coach Training Day at Catamount

Kick off the riding season with us at Catamount!

Join our team for a fun, welcoming mountain bike skills clinic designed for youth ages 6–14. This special session doubles as a coach training day, meaning your rider will get to learn alongside (and help train!) our coaching staff as they gear up for summer programs.

Whether your child is new to trails or getting ready for camp or club, this is a great opportunity to build confidence, practice foundational skills, meet the team, and enjoy time on the bike before the season begins.

During the session, riders will:

Complete a basic bike safety check
Participate in a low-pressure skill assessment
Learn and practice core riding skills
Head out for a fun, guided trail ride

This clinic is open to current campers and club members, and helps ensure riders are ready for a safe and successful summer.

Camp & Club Skill Expectations

To get the most out of our programs, riders should be able to:

Ride confidently on flat, varied terrain (grass, dirt, gravel, roots)
Ride without training wheels
Turn in both directions
Stop safely when directed
