Play & Connect on Mountain Bikes
Georgia’s Youth Mountain Bike Program Specifically Designed for Grades 3-5
The Georgia Cycling Association’s Trail Rangers program provides a fun and safe environment for elementary-aged children to experience the joys of youth mountain biking. The program emphasizes “play and connect” as its core theme and focuses on skill development through gameplay, making new friends, and fostering a love of the outdoors. Any public, private, or homeschool student in grades 3-5 are welcome to join a local program.
PLAY
Being healthy and active shouldn’t feel like a chore — it’s something to get excited about! We emphasize “PLAY” because it is important to create an environment where young riders can develop their abilities while having fun. With this approach, we teach kids to embrace an active lifestyle that feels exciting and natural.
CONNECT
The Trail Rangers program emphasizes “CONNECT” by helping students build meaningful relationships on and off the bike. Rangers will build strength and increase their self-confidence. The program fosters friendships among participants by encouraging teamwork and collaboration. At the same time, they will deepen their appreciation for Georgia’s natural wonders.
