Strength Training–$138/session for 1 class/week or $276/session for 2 classes/week

These 75 minute strength sessions are tailored to the needs of young endurance athletes. High School (HS) sessions are for kids currently in grades 9-12. Junior High (JH) sessions are for kids currently in grades 7-9. We will admit kids currently in grade 6 to JH classes on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the youth, the family, and the coaches. Below is a list of all possible classes. We need at least eight youth registered to run a class, with a max of 10 youth per class. Classes will be filled on a first come first serve basis.

On Bike Practices (OBP)

OBP will feature skills training at each practice followed by practicing skills  on the trail. Groups will be divided by skill, endurance, and rider goals. Practices will take place Tuesday and Thursday, 6pm-7:30pm, meeting at trailheads around the metro (Lebanon, Theo Wirth, Battle Creek, and Braemar Park will be common locations). OBP groups will have a 2:10 coach to rider ratio.

• Session 1: April 8 - May (7 weeks) – $280

• Session 2: May 27-July 10 (no week of July 1 -- 6 weeks) – $250

High School Freeride

Open to 9th-12th graders who have (1) been on the team at least one year and (2) have coach approval. Approval for freeride is based on an assessment of the rider's skill (advanced),  endurance (high), and maturity (able to ride as a community member who takes responsibility for other community members and themself). Freeride groups will have a 1:10 coach to rider ratio and riders will work with the coach to set priorities for practices. Riders must be highly responsible and prepared to ride rigorous terrain at a relatively intense pace. A rider who is new to the team may start in HS OBP and be allowed to petition up, with coach approval. This will likely be rare.

Freeride sessions will be at the same time (6pm-7:30pm and locations as OBP)

• Session 1: April 8 - May (7 weeks) – $280

• Session 2: May 27-July 10 (no week of July 1 -- 6 weeks) – $250
