Don't forget, the WI League will also accept independent riders who might not have a community or school team in their area. Questions on this, please contact Kathy Mock, Co-Director for the WI League.
The WI League operates on five principles: to be equal, inclusive and to build a strong body, mind and character through cycling. The all-are-welcome philosophy combined with the opportunity for an individual to make an impact supports why the WI league has quickly grown.
Let's get #MOREKIDSONBIKES.

They will be open to all existing student/athletes as well as those that are thinking about joining a team. Participants should be 11-18 years old. Cost will be around $50 for the day. Lunch will be served. The WI League will provide coaches for the camp and insurance.

NEW! TRY-IT-OUT SESSIONS
August
Just what it says, these are primarily for student athletes that would like to give mountain biking a try and meet members and coaches of your local team. These sessions generally run on a weekday evening from 6:00pm-7:30pm.
We are working with existing coaches and team directors to plan a Try-it-Out-Session in their region. These sessions would also be an ideal event for communities/schools looking to start a team as well.
We also have a fleet of a dozen bikes donated from The Trek Stores, Erik's, and Wheel and Sprocket that are available for riders who do not own a bike. This is a huge tool in growing or forming your team!
Please let Kathy Mock know ASAP when you would like to have your region's Try-It-Out Session. Please send Kathy Mock an email at kathy@wisconsinmtb.org. Send Email
