Flagstaff Youth Riders, INC (FLYRS)

The FLagstaff Youth RiderS (FLYRS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Flagstaff, Arizona. FLYRS was founded in April 2016 to provide a structured and team-oriented approach to mountain biking for youth. We began small with a few families in the spring of 2016, and have grown each season as the interest has expanded, serving over 1,000 youth in 2024. We are excited and honored to work with families in our community who share our passion for the outdoors and whose kids want to break out of the mold of traditional sports programs. FLYRS programs facilitate independent learning and accomplishment, as well as group-based camaraderie and encouragement.

We have created five key program components that each complement the other to provide the fundamentals of a comprehensive and community-based youth mountain biking organization in Flagstaff, AZ. The key programs include: a community bike park, school based program, fall and spring recreational groups, summer camps, and teams.
