Development Squad

Provisional Information for the 2024/2025 Development Squad is out now. Some items may be tweaked prior to the 28th September.

Development Squad Vision

The Development Squad vision is to enable individuals to grow their potential in MTB while developing skills and experiences that are transferable to other areas of life.

As the saying goes… It takes a village to raise a child. DirtCraft has incorporated this philosophy into the Development Squad along with packaging up several current and new services in a cost-effective and valuable way to achieve our vision. The Development Squad will be the only way to access most of these services. This method allows the DirtCraft team to give significantly more support to each individual than on a term-by-term basis. Underpinning all our values is a standard of enjoyment, respect, teamwork and maturity.

Big changes for this season

  • Development Squad is now an annual package that includes event trips, workshops, 1:1 coaching, Training programmes & more.
  • Development Squad now caters for riders year 8 to year 13.
  • Development Squad selection process has been updated.
  • Development Squad is now tied in closely with the DirtCraft vision and values.
  • With clear objectives, we’ve increased the standard to be involved. So everyone needs to apply.
