All of our Coaches are volunteers and dedicate their time, skills, wisdom and love every week to The Dirt Minions kids. The lessons taught on the trail; courage, integrity, support of others, respect for nature, stepping out of our comfort zone, building confidence, gratitude for those providing opportunity, and more... extend into the lives of the kids off of the trail as well. OH! And we also have A TON OF FUN together!

We started as The Ojai Bike Coalition, with a group of passionate bike enthusiasts working hard to get a bike park built for the kids, safe routes to school, bike clinics and more...

Our Coaches are all Volunteers, passionate about empowering youth on and off the bike who lovingly donate their time and expertise each week. Through the generosity of time from our coaches, community donations and the support of Ojai Valley Youth Foundation and the local Rotary and Lions Clubs, we are able to provide our programs at no charge to the youth in our community. 

Pre-season meet-up for club and non-club kids interested in developing their mountain bike skills, trail etiquette and team building, while engaging in conversations around empowerment and confidence on and off the trail. Join our team of coaches for this awesome opportunity to kick off the season with confidence!
