Sprockids Mission Statement:

“Through the sport of mountain biking young people will have the opportunity to develop
the skills, values, and strategies that will guide them throughout their lives and enable them to succeed in school and in life.”

History:

Sprockids was originally developed in 1990 as a Self Esteem/Anger Management Program to help students succeed in school. Since then, Sprockids has evolved into a multi-faceted program engaging thousands of young people in the life long activity of mountain biking while teaching them the skills, values, and strategies to succeed in life. The program is now used in over 19 countries by teachers, coaches, cycling clubs, youth organizations, law enforcement agencies, and parents. The Sprockids Program was designed with input from; educators, national level coaches, trail builders, professional athletes, and program implementation consultants. 

Sprockids is based on the following principles:
  • A fun way to develop a taste for cycling through cycling games and activities that are facilitated by a competent rider.
  • The needs of young people to seek strong sensations and to discover new ways to play, while developing personality.
  • Recognition of achievements of individual skills and group participation through the Sprockids Passport of Accomplishment.

The Program: Sprockids teaches

  • How to mountain bike – 55 skills over 4 program levels
  • How to maintain your bike
  • Environmental stewardship
