Youth programs overview |
Youth cycling series: This is a safe, fun racing series for kids is held on a grass course at Look Park for children 3-12 years of age. This popular series has been held for well over a decade.
Junior cyclocross series: Each year, the NCC partners with the Northampton Parks & Recreation Department to run a training series for kids in grades 2 through 8. All riding levels and abilities are welcomed. Please have your child bring a working bike and a helmet, and we’ll do the rest.Recreational Mountain Biking: We offer twice weekly rides for kids in grades 3-12 from April-June and August-October. Depending on who shows up to a given ride, we will typically break the whole group into elementary (grades 5 and under), middle (6-8), and high school (9-12) groups. Each group will have 4-6 kids riding with 2-3 adults. This provides for a lot of opportunity for one-on-one instruction during the rides. Adults (parents, caregivers, family members, family friends) are welcome to ride with the group.
Trail Blasters racing team: We offer a mountain bike racing team in the spring and a cyclocross team in the fall for kids ages 10-18 participating in local series of races and other regional events.
