Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to the Salt Lake City area cross-country mountain bike team sign-up.  Our coaching staff represents three high school teams with boys and girls 9th 12th grade.  We have found success in numbers and have combined our coaching assets and our students in the SLC area to promote camaraderie, build teamwork skills, and ensure that everyone has a great time!  As a team we work with everyone from beginners to experts.  Every student is involved and nobody sits on the sidelines.  The coaching staff’s highest goal is to provide student athletes with the direction that will help them achieve competitive success and personal development. 
Financial scholarships and short-term bike loaner programs are available.  If you are a student who shows a desire, we will find a way.   Contact Coach Drew and we will make it happen!
