Training in Koppl
Founded in 1998, the Union Mountainbike Club Koppl offers around 120 children and young people under the age of 18 the opportunity to be active in sports on their bikes. The club has made it its mission to teach children how to handle their bikes safely in various terrain situations. The goal of this training strategy is to highlight the individual learning objectives and competencies of the children at different age levels during both summer and winter training. In doing so, we provide children (and their parents) with the opportunity to learn about the coaches, the club’s goals, and the training programs available for children and youth. We take into account both recreational sports and consciously aim to support children who are interested in performance-oriented competitions. Therefore, the learning objectives and competencies also relate to the requirements of the cross-country (XCO) and technical competitions we focus on. We aim to prepare the children for these as best as possible.
Training strategy
We have developed age-appropriate strategies for the education and training of children and young people. This document also links to training strategies from the national associations of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Training locations
After having met at Nockstein Arena (Football field Koppl) from sping to autumn we are training in our bikepark. Rides take place in the nearby surroundings. In winter, technical bike training for the racing children takes place at the recycling center in Koppl, along with functional training sessions in the gymnasium of the elementary school (VS) in Koppl.
