Napa BMX League – Rider Enrollment
The Napa BMX League is a five-week, five-session experience that’s as easy as riding a bike, but so much more fun! Held at North Bay BMX (click for photo of the facility), girls & boys, 3-15 years of age (AND their parents/grandparents), enjoy instruction and racing in equal-parts during each session.
Led by Napa resident and Olympic Medalist, Donny Robinson, our League is a Beginners-only program that takes riders gradually through the steps to becoming a BMX racer. It’s a great family atmosphere, and we often have three-generations of a family in the house cheering on their rider.
The $159 tuition includes a riding jersey, personalized number/name plate, season-end award, and loaner bike/helmet (if needed).
The DATE, TIME, and DAY options (you can begin to make your selection at the bottom of this page):
• EARLY SUMMER: June 2 – July 7 (skip June 15)
• LATE SUMMER: August 25 – September 29 (skip Sep. 1, for Labor Day)
• FALL: October 27 – November 24
• Time slot choices are: 9:15AM-11:30AM or 12:15PM-2:30PM
• All sessions are held on Sundays.
WHAT’S IN A SESSION?
Bicycle riding! Almost to the heart’s content of the rider…
Although we provide participants near non-stop ride time throughout, each rider, based on every levels, are able to take breaks when needed, without missing any of the action!
Our days begin with instruction time, which covers new, progressive skills/drills each week. Learning proper lines through the turns, the fastest/safest ways to navigate the jumps, and gaining comfortability riding in close proximity to others are just some of what we cover over the course of our season.
*Sorry, for now, we cannot teach kids HOW to ride bikes.
Next, we apply what we just learned (along with what was taught in prior weeks) in three laps of healthy competition, in age-appropriate classes. Racers are awarded points, on a running tally, that will get revealed during a trophy presentation on our last day.
WHAT’S NEEDED?
A rider, their pants, and shoes – for real!
Yes, wear a long-sleeve shirt, bring a bicycle & helmet if you have them (whatever they look like), but if those items are missing, we have them for you to use at no extra charge.
*Our various sizes of loaner bikes/helmets will fit the typical 3-4 year olds, all the way up to adults.
EXTRA INFORMATION
1. Participants must be able to ride a pedal bike, without training wheels, and have a basic ability to make it over the small dirt obstacles of North Bay BMX to join in either Open House or League activities (parents may assist by running alongside, if needed).
NOTE: This program does not require any special kind of racing bike, and chances are that the bike your rider has in the garage will work just-fine (mountain bikes, coaster brakes, etc. are all approved).
