About Us

The Wasatch Mountain Bike Team is open to all girls and boys entering grades 7-12. The team is comprised of all skill levels from experienced racers to committed beginners. The 7th and 8th graders (Devo) practice twice weekly (Tues/Thurs evenings) and the 9-12th graders (High School) practice three times/week (Mon/Tues/Thurs evenings) from mid-June through October in preparation for races that begin in August and run through October.

Registration generally opens each year in March. We typically have over 200 middle school and high school riders on the Wasatch Mountain Bike Team.

“More kids on bikes” means more kids getting outside, making friends, exercising often, learning a lifelong sport, and learning to do hard things. Developing confidence, strength, and character.

We are more than a team – we are family. We work hard together, we cheer for each other, and we have FUN together.

Our goal is finishing the race! Coaches support and encourage kids along the race course including at the finish. We celebrate each rider for being greater than they imagined. Everybody rides, everybody races and everybody grows.

Guiding Principles

"B >" Be greater than you were yesterday. Be greater than your last ride. Be greater than your last bad moment. Strive to exceed even your own expectations and you'll reach new heights.

Respect Have respect or each other, for those who came before, for those who will come after, for those we meet on the trail, for our surroundings, for ourselves.

I Can Do Hard Things Embracing challenges is essential for growth. It's through facing and overcoming difficulties that we develop resilience and discover our true potential.

Work Hard/Play Hard We strive for peak performance on the trails, yet still embrace every moment of fun and adventure along the way, allowing us to live life to its fullest.

Celebrate Others Celebrating everyone's success and growth, big or small, is central to what we do. Continually cheering for one another makes our team stronger.
