Sprockids is a program for
young people to learn the skills of
mountain biking in a graduated
fashion with highly skilled and
experienced instructors. Participants
register for a
comprehensive five session program, wherein they move
through a
series of modules designed to enhance their mountain biking
skills and simultaneously develop a sense of accomplishment and
self confidence that can influence all areas of life.
As these young people develop their skills, they become eligible
to
train others, thus further enhancing their development and
the
development of others. The program is a multi-tiered
approach, designed
to provide participants with the opportunity
to experience success at
any level of riding ability.
The art of riding is broken down
into 55 skills and four program
levels, taught in a graduated fashion
using different obstacles
and terrain, where each new skill builds upon
a previous skill.
Through the sport of cycling, 9-13 year-olds
develop a strong
sense of self esteem by discovering and building on
the
potential within themselves. As they progress through the
program they will move gradually to more difficult terrain while
learning the essential skills and safety for each environment
(Velorution pump track, quiet residential roads, Hub Trail, and
Hiawatha trails).

Here's what
parents had to say about last summer's Sprockids program at
Velorution:
“We agree that Sprockids Summer Bike Camp was a
success. I've
been speaking highly of it, even to friends in other
parts of
the country, suggesting they look into it for their children.
More importantly, [my son] has been doing the same... and wants
to come back. He says it was the best camp he ever attended.” –

“Overall, my two sons (12 year old twins) really
enjoyed it and
so did I. I loved knowing that they were outside and
getting
some really good exercise... [The instructor] seemed to be a
real natural with the kids and my guys spoke very positively of
how [he] interacted with them and with the other bikers. Also,
the price was wonderful, especially considering what you got for
your
dollars and also in comparison to other camps... My [sons]
were more
interested in getting out on their bikes after this
camp. They were
especially keen to take me out to the trails
they rode at Hiawatha and
I was pretty amazed at how confidently
they were going over fallen
branches and maneuvering along tight
pathways (they did better than I
did).” – F. Walsh
