Youth All Mountain Team

Our Youth All Mountain Team is for riders in 4th & 5th grade who started young and are now ready to ride bigger terrain, progress their skills and have optional pathways to racing.

Riders with less experience should begin with Elementary Club. Riders in 6th grade should look at joining Enduro Team, XC Team or Cascadia Club because the practice times align for school release.

Coaching Support

Weekly team practices provide the appropriate amount of work and correct training loads for all riders to have a successful season.

  • Progressive skills: our systematic training and skills progression is proven to keep juniors progressing throughout each season and for their entire time as a junior racer.
  • Regular attendance is important because coaches shape each practice to build up each rider’s skill, fitness, and knowledge.
  • Trips: we will have weekend rides, bonus rides, day trips and overnight travel where riders can work as a team and spend more time with their coaches.

2024 Team Schedule

Because these riders are under 13, overnight trips are limited. Talk to us if your family would like to meet us at a race or travel with us. We have several day trips planned just for this group, along with bonus rides on some weekends.

  • EVENTS IN BOLD RED are team trips for training or racing with your coaches, sign up for them below under “Team Travel.” Typically includes food, lodging, coaching, etc. and we recommend riders do these trips with the team.
