Industry Sheriff YAL Free BMX Racing Program at Whittier Narrows

About this event

Industry Sheriff’s Youth Activities League (YAL) and Whittier Narrows BMX are running a free, finite youth BMX racing program from November 28, 2026 through February 20, 2027. It introduces young riders to BMX through skills and safety instruction, supervised practice and friendly racing at the sanctioned Whittier Narrows track in South El Monte. The package includes a USA BMX membership plus bike and helmet rental. The organizer calls the program free because its $80 registration charge is a refundable deposit, returned after the rider completes five races. The first required track session is a mandatory beginner class and bike/helmet fitting on Saturday, November 28 from 1:00 to 4:00 PM PST. A second beginner class follows Saturday, December 5 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. The organizer also lists a parent-and-child introductory meeting on November 19 but does not publish its time. During the program, Wednesday practice runs 5:00–8:00 PM; Thursday and Saturday practice runs 5:00–7:00 PM with racing at 7:15 PM. The registration system identifies November 28 as the formal start and February 20 as the end. The current organizer announcement limits participation to residents served by Industry Sheriff’s Station: Industry, La Puente, La Habra Heights, Bassett, Valinda, Hacienda Heights, South San Jose Hills and North Whittier. It repeatedly describes the rider audience as boys and girls ages 7–14. The LeagueApps configuration, however, shows a minimum age of 7 and maximum age of 15 as of November 28; families with a 15-year-old should confirm eligibility before creating an account. Riders must already ride a bicycle without training wheels and be able to pedal while standing off the seat. Registration is active: the official program page says “Now accepting registrations,” showed 43 individual spots remaining at verification, and its Register action reached LeagueApps account creation. The page also contains a generic fallback message saying nothing is open for registration, so participants should use the prominent Register link and contact YAL if checkout does not continue after account creation. No registration deadline, waitlist process, refund timing beyond the five-race condition, missed-session policy, transfer policy, guardian paperwork detail or separate waiver URL is published. Whittier Narrows BMX is inside the Los Angeles County recreation area at 1601 N Rosemead Boulevard. The event is fully inside the core Los Angeles inventory region. The sources do not publish a program-specific parking fee, transit plan, detailed accessibility procedure, weather threshold, cancellation/makeup rule, spectator policy, livestream, result service or award structure. Because this is an outdoor dirt track, check the organizer’s current social feed before travel.
