Youth Mountain Biking

Junior Rippers MTB Team logo

Founded in 2021, SWAY MTB Club and Coweta County Parks and Recreation have jointly developed the Junior Rippers mountain bike team specifically for younger riders in the Southwest Atlanta area. This group is designed to get kids between ages 6 and 12 outdoors having fun riding bikes with their friends in a structured manner.  There are no tryouts, no cuts and no races with this team and the only requirement is the rider must be able to ride a pedal bike independently (without training wheels).

Join our Rippers Coaching Staff - Unlike most youth sporting teams, parents who want to help out and ride with our team are welcome to register as one of our many coaches. For the safety and security of our riders, parents are not allowed to ride with our team without completing coaching requirements. There is no cost to become a coach, and you don't need to make a huge commitment or be an expert rider to be a coach with the Rippers. In fact, we consider your ability to connect well with kids to be a more important trait in a good coach. All groups are led by our experienced coaches so newer coaches will be assisting them. Typically group size is limited to approximately eight riders and normally has at least two coaches assigned to that group to ensure the group stays together and meets our coach/rider ratios.
