Individuals can participate in the West Virginia League, but it’s even more fun to have a team to train and race with. Whether you are a student or coach, the League is here to help you form a team in your area or at your school.
It only takes one adult, and one student-athlete
Extensive cycling experience is not necessary
We're Here To Help
Our Staff Can Help:- Athletes find coaches
- Coaches form teams
- Teams become recognized by their schools
- Teams find additional volunteers
Start A Team
| WHO | Administrators, teachers, parents, students and/or community members can start a cycling club in their local area or at their local middle or high school. One should simply have the desire to introduce kids to the sport of mountain biking. Once you have decided to create a team, the League can help educate you and provide you with all the tools necessary to be an excellent coach. |
|---|---|
| WHAT | A WV League mountain bike team can be any size, as long as correct coach-to-student-athlete ratios are abided by. |
| WHERE | The WV League includes the entire state. Neighboring states may participate if a League does not currently exist in that region. |
| WHEN | WV teams organize in the Winter and early Spring. the "pre-season" starts on April 1, and the season kicks off July 1. The season wraps up in the first week of November. |
Types of Teams
School-Based Teams
Comprised of full-time students grade 6-12 from the same middle or high-school, public or private. School-based teams can be “official” or “unofficial”.
Composite Teams
Comprised of students from more than one high-school within the same district or other geographic proximity.
Individual Teams
If you don’t have a team near you and want to participate in League events then you can register as an Independent. To sign up please Contact Us and include your school district and home town.
We Need Your Help
We are a volunteer-based organization. Without our dedicated volunteers, parents, and coaches, our programs would not exist. Race-day volunteers are what make our events a success. Volunteering for a race is a single-day (or a few hours) commitment and is perfect for someone who wants to be involved but is limited on time.
