develop skills for life—not just the trail

Welcome to Spring Race League!
This is where competition meets coaching—where young riders test their limits, develop resilience, and experience the thrill of performance in a fully supported and skill-focused environment.
Race League Experience isn’t your average program. It’s an energy-filled coaching experience that blends the thrill of timed trail riding with real skill development, mindset coaching, and personal breakthroughs. Think of it as your rider’s chance to feel what it’s like to ride under pressure, get fired up, and grow in every way—physically, mentally, and emotionally—while being guided every step of the way by our expert coaches.
What is it?
Race League Experience is a 5-week progression-based training series that simulates the energy of race day—without the pressure of a sanctioned event. It’s not about winning at all costs—it’s about growth, grit, and learning how to show up when it counts. Riders are guided through each week by our expert coaching team, building their confidence, emotional regulation, and mindset for performance.
Each session includes timed practice runs followed by a final timed run that counts toward the overall leaderboard. Trails are carefully selected to match rider ability and create the right level of challenge and flow. Alongside the riding, we focus on a key race skill each week—like braking, carrying flow, or developing momentum—so riders leave each session with new tools to level up their performance—both physically and mentally. We introduce simple mental preparation strategies to help riders manage nerves, stay focused, and build confidence under pressure.
Over the course of five weeks, riders collect points that feed into an overall leaderboard. We finish with a celebration podium and fun prizes—but the real win is in the personal breakthroughs that happen along the way.
WHY DO WE RUN IT?
Because we’ve seen the transformation that happens when kids ride with purpose. Timed runs build focus and resilience when paired with the right coaching, mindset tools, and feedback.
We want riders to not only develop the tools to perform—but to truly enjoy the process. Because when kids are confident, they have fun. And when they’re having fun, they do incredible things.
This is about helping riders develop skills for life—not just the trail.
