Summer 2024 BMX/Bike League "Give it a Try" Beginner Open House

Come on out to The Hill BMX, in the Elgin Sports Complex, on June 19, from 5:30PM-7:00PM, for a free "give -it-a-try" open house, especially for beginning riders and their families.

During the 90-minute event, your rider will get some basic instruction on BMX Racing and ride the track, under the supervision of our League coaches and volunteers. Parents will learn about how the League is structured, and have a no-pressure opportunity to sign up.

The Beginners-only Summer 2024 League season starts Wednesday, June 26 (5:30PM-7:30PM), and runs on the following schedule:

Wednesday, June 26– 5:30PM-7:30PM

The Open House is a perfect opportunity to learn about the sport, and get in on an activity that is all-about fun, fitness and family. Open to boys and girls 4-15 years, and moms, dads and grandparents of riders. A “Beginner” is someone who has never raced BMX outside of the League program.
