The team at DIRTSCHOOL (in KZN) are dedicated to promoting cycling by teaching the fundamental skills of mountain biking, building confidence and most importantly, ensuring the experience is enjoyable.  Their mission includes fostering a sense of community through meeting new people, making friends and inspiring others to achieve their goals.

They provide comprehensive MTB skills clinics for all ages and proficiency levels, from beginners to advanced riders with programs designed to educate and empower individuals to become the best MTB riders they can be, with a clear understanding of the steps needed to reach their potential.

Skills clinics are taught by Level 2 certified BICP coach Fiona and Level 1 UCI coach Amy. 



Coach Fiona

I love my work!! Advocating for mountain biking among individuals is a cause that is very dear to me. Through my involvement at a social level, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact cycling can have on individuals, which motivates me to introduce more people of all ages to mountain biking.  I am part of a community that shares a common vision: changing lives through mountain biking and setting a global standard for mountain biking skills training and education.



Coach Amy

I find immense joy in imparting the invaluable skills and knowledge I've gained throughout my career. Whether it's teaching the basics of balance and cordination to our youngest riders or honing the skills of aspiring athletes, my goal remains the same: to foster a lifelong love for cycling and empower the next generation of riders to pedal towards their dreams.
