Overview

At Rooted Action Park, we believe BMX is more than just a sport — it’s a way to build life skills that last far beyond the park. The Summer Youth BMX Freestyle League is designed to help young riders grow not only in their BMX abilities but also in personal values like Respect, Patience, Confidence, Persistence, Camaraderie, Creativity, and Resilience.

Through eight weeks of structured coaching, friendly competition, and goal setting, riders will experience progression on and off the bike. Whether they are beginners learning the basics or intermediate riders pushing their limits, every participant will find a place where they are challenged, supported, and inspired.

We prioritize safety, personal growth, and fun — creating an environment where kids can develop independence, decision-making skills, and a lifelong love for movement. At Rooted, it’s about more than tricks — it’s about building strong, confident people ready for life’s challenges.

If you believe in the power of perseverance, the value of community, and the need for kids to unplug and challenge themselves, Rooted Action Park is the place to ride this summer.
