Teton Riders

Teton Riders

The Teton Riders Program (formerly Sprockids) focuses on developing the core fundamentals of mountain biking. Riders learn shifting, braking, cornering, body position, and trail etiquette while exploring local singletrack in a fun, supportive group setting. This is where young riders start to truly discover the joy of the ride.

2026 Program Registration: 

Online registration for 2026 Teton Riders will open at 5:00pm on March 1st, 2026. Please check back on the bottom of this page for an active link to register.

Program Age Groups & Coaching Ratios:

Teton Riders participants must be 6 to 9 years old by July 10th, of the current year. We aim to ensure balanced coach to rider ratios to encourage more focused instruction, better skills grouping and to limit our program impact at trailheads. This season we have 72 open sports in the program. If full, this will offer a 1:6, coach to rider ratio!
