Give your kids the best chance to be better riders!
Life as a parent can be very busy and trying to balance your work and your kids sporting activities can be challenging. Imagine if your kids could be picked up from home or school and transported to the trails for a fun riding and coaching session. This will soon be available in Knysna!
The Gravity Youth Program allows young riders to practice their mountain biking skills in a fun and safe and encouraging group environment with adult supervision and coaching.
A weekly shuttle will transport young riders from home or school to the local MTO Concordia Trails for of fun riding. After the sessions they will be transported back home.
The mission is to maximise the time riding on the trails and to improve the skillset of young riders and to push progression in a safe and responsible way.
Young riders will placed in groups according to their skill level to allow for safe learning and progression. Each group will be assigned to a specific day in the week.
A maximum of 5 riders can be accommodated at a time. Once a month we will also do a weekend ride in either Plettenberg Bay or George to expose the young riders to different trail types.
Private coaching sessions are also available.
LAUNCHING SOON...
To encourage safe learning and progressions young riders will be grouped according to their skill level. Riders will be evaluated before advancing to groups. It is important for young riders to understand trail gradings and the importance of riding within your limits.
