Registration Update

Remember, student-athletes and coaches must be registered in CCN before participating in team practices.

Check Your Status

You can check your registration status by using the “Search Athlete and Coach Status” button on the ACA Registration page. If the rider's status indicates “Issued” they are ‘practice ready’ and good to go. Note, the category viewed here is their default category before any upgrades/downgrades (automatic and petitioned).

To check race category login to your CCN account, and navigate to “My Profile.” From the drop-down menu in the upper right under “Manage Profiles,” select your student-athlete. The rider's race category will be listed under their "Attributes and Records". This is the only location to confirm a student-athlete’s ACA race category. Their default category for registration purposes only appears in other locations.

Full Race Series Discount

Sign up for the full race series and get all races at a significant discount. All four races must be in your cart at the same time to qualify for the discount. All individual race registrations must be completed in CCN by the Tuesday prior to each race. No onsite registration, no exceptions. More information about the ACA participation fees can be found on the league website.

What happens if you complete registration after August 9? No worries, you can still participate this fall. You just won't have your name printed on your plate.

Please contact Registration if you have any questions.

The experience provided to student-athletes is only possible because of the contributions of many volunteers at each race. Now is your chance to get involved. Sign up at SignUp.com. Here you'll also find a summary of the volunteer positions. Sign up to volunteer for three or more races and receive a special edition t-shirt. Wear it proudly as you volunteer at the races throughout the season!

Please considering supporting the ACA by spending a portion of your race weekend helping put on a great event. Email Volunteer Coordinator Les Stukenberg if you have any questions.

Financial Assistance

The ACA is committed to helping ensure every student-athlete and coach has the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial situation. Through the generous support of the Mountain Bike Association of Arizona, we're able to provide support to help offset expenses directly related to participation in ACA activities.

Visit the Financial Assistance page on our website for more information. Completed applications must be received by August 31.
