Who Can Join?
This clinic is designed for intermediate to advanced riders aged 8+ with confident bike handling skills. Previous completion of a Sprockids Fundamentals I & II clinic or our After School Program is recommended. If your rider is new to Sprockids and you’re unsure if this clinic is a fit, please contact us to discuss.
