Jafakids MTB Academy focuses on developing skilled mountain bike riders! Open to boys and girls aged 11–19, from beginners to experts, the academy provides a fun and supportive environment for members across the greater Auckland region.

With an emphasis on skills-building and adventure, Jafakids helps riders tackle natural obstacles, master single-track trails, and build the fitness needed to fully explore New Zealand’s incredible trail networks.

Ride – Race – Realise

At Jafakids, training rides happen year-round! Riders receive weekly coaching from a dedicated team, including the Head Coach, Lead Coaches, and passionate volunteers. Sessions take place at Woodhill or Riverhead Forest every Wednesday night, where riders join groups tailored to their skill levels — ensuring the perfect balance of fun, improved technique, and the option to ride with your friends in local and regional races.

The start of our season commences in October every year and we kick this off with an annual muster for new riders. We take expressions of interest through the year (spaces are limited - see What's On for signup information) and post updates on our Facebook page.
