Class Schedule: Spring 2026

Grip Academy serves kids age 4 through 8th grade. Kids must be pedaling without training wheels in order to participate in Grip Academy. If your child is not yet pedaling on two wheels, please register for one of our Get Rollin’ Learn-to-Ride Classes.

Classes are held outdoors at various locations in Folsom.

  • January & February: Hinkle Creek Nature Center (7000 Baldwin Dam Rd, Folsom, CA 95630)
  • March 4 – April 1: Rodeo Park (200 Stafford St, Folsom, CA 95630)
  • April 13 – May 21: Lakeside Church (745 Oak Ave Pkwy, Folsom, CA 95630)

Register your child for the Grip Level that most closely describes their current ability. We will perform an assessment on your child’s first day to ensure proper placement.

Optional Thursday Grom Races & Group Rides/Activities

New this spring! With a Two Classes/Week membership, you have the option of using your credits for two classes each week, or using one credit for a class and one credit for our optional Thursday activities.

This spring, kids can put their Grip Academy skills to the test at the Folsom Grom Race Series. This short track mountain bike series on Thursdays teaches kids in 5th grade & under the ropes of racing in a safe, fun environment. Your Grip Academy coaches will be out there to support you! On non-race Thursdays, we will offer a group ride/activity option.

All classes and activities must be booked through our Team Up calendar.

Class Schedule: Winter 2025-26

Our first-ever Grip Academy Winter Session will keep kids engaged through the holidays, short daylight hours, and rainy weather. The Winter 2025-26 schedule will run from November 2025 to February 2026.

Winter classes focus on hands-on activities, games, and exploration that don’t rely on the ability to ride outside. Each month will highlight a core value of the Clipped In for Life mission: Achievement, Adventure, and Connection.

Kids will continue working through their grip color skills, learning balance, body control, navigation, bike maintenance, traffic safety, and more.

Location change for Winter 2025-26! Classes will now be held at Hinkle Creek Nature Center (adjacent to Lew Howard Park) starting January 6, 2026. We will have access to a well-light, heated indoor space for inclement weather and off-the-bike activities.
