Junior MTB coaching typically starts in April of each year and runs in line with school terms. Parents can book their children onto a coaching block that lasts up to seven weeks. Sessions run from 6pm to 7pm on a Wednesday evening, or 5:45pm to 7pm in the case of hill rides. The coaching team includes British Cycling coaches and MTB Leaders, and is supported by our ‘expert riders’.

We use Peachfield Common as our central venue and meeting point. Coaching can take place within this area, or out on Peachfield Common itself as children’s riding skills progress.

Coaching dates for 2025 (all Wednesday)

April 30
May 7, 14, 21

There is no coaching on June 4th and July 16th, to tie in with our XC race series

Due to the increase in both popularity of the event and the skills of the young riders involved, we now take some groups out on the Malvern Hills for their sessions. In this case, we meet earlier at West of England Quarry car park.
