Helping the next generation of riders.

Each season, we support one deserving young rider with our coaching services.

Our first season of Upward produced incredible results and we couldn’t be happier with how the initiative worked out.

Who we’re looking for:

  • Young riders (between 10-16) who are actively involved with racing and competitive events.

  • Attitude and character come first. We’re looking for self driven and motivated riders who are keen to learn and progress.

  • Respectful behaviour and good manners to all others are essential.

Program content:

This program aims to provide riders with an edge over their competitors by improving their skill sets. It includes:

  • A 12 session athlete performance program, including skills coaching, bike set up work and timed training.

  • Regular support and check-in sessions throughout the season.

  • Connections to industry partners and other networking opportunities.

Essentially, we’ll give you as much support in your riding as we can*.

*subject to further terms.

Our expectations:

Our number one goal is to create a fun environment for our riders to learn. We’re here to support and foster growth, not apply pressure. Rider’s should:

  • Turn up to sessions keen to listen, learn and practice.

  • Represent Onward MTB Coaching primarily through example and being a good human.

  • Social media tagging, helmet/bike stickers and logo printing on jerseys.
