On Thursday, 05.09.2024, a training course on mountain biking in school sport took place at the vocational school in Springe under the direction of Dr Arno Meyer. According to the regulations for school sports (2024), proof of the technical requirements is required for teaching in the exercise field ‘On wheels and rollers’ with mountain bikes or with bicycles off-road. Teachers from all over Lower Saxony had the opportunity to acquire this special qualification as part of the training programme. The event focussed on teaching essential movement skills as well as testing and reflecting on teaching methods suitable for pupils. Furthermore, the basics of planning and carrying out MTB lessons in connection with tour planning and related safety measures were discussed and tested in practice.
