Snowy Mountains Grammar School’s Mountain Bike Academy provides a supportive environment where riders are challenged to reach their full potential at their own pace developing confidence and capability on the trail.

Through structured coaching and a clear focus on skill progression, students master the fundamentals of body position and balance, direction and pressure control, timing and coordination and race preparation with plenty of mileage across a variety of trails in Jindabyne, Cooma, Canberra and Thredbo to bring it all together.

As Australia’s pioneering student mountain biking development program, our Academy champions technical excellence, resilience and confident performance. Training takes place in small groups on well-defined local trail networks throughout the Snowy Mountains.

Beyond physical development students build strength, resilience, teamwork and a deep respect for the natural environment, skills that extend well beyond the bike. The program supports riders who are looking to refine their skills, as well as those pursuing a focused pathway to competition.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do, with concussion baseline testing and structured support ensuring a safe and sustainable progression. Training is balanced alongside academic commitments, reflecting our holistic educational approach, where personal passions and purposeful learning go hand in hand.
