*About us*
Sprockids is an instructional program designed to engage young people, ages 6 to 18 years, in mountain biking. Cycling provides a positive focus for youth, develops self-esteem, provides kids with a strong sense of community, and introduces them to a healthy active lifestyle. The program teaches off-road skills through drills, games, and fun activities; while tracking individual progress.

We highlight fun and emphasize that play is key to life long learning. Instructors focus on the importance of etiquette, fair play and leadership while emphasizing the critical role of self-esteem and confidence. We foster a strong sense of community that extends past our brand and into the tenets of “mountain bike culture,” such as reinforcing the importance of taking care of ourselves and each other. Students learn what camaraderie is by interacting with their peers, all while learning new skills and concepts!
