For riders in 4th & 5th grade who started young and are now ready to ride bigger terrain, progress their skills and have optional pathways to racing.
Riders with less experience should begin with Elementary Club. Riders in 6th grade should look at joining Enduro Team, XC Team or Cascadia Club because the practice times align for school release.
