Wasatch Mtb

The Wasatch Mountain Bike Team welcomes student-athletes entering grades 7–12, from brand-new riders to experienced competitors. No matter where an athlete starts, our focus is helping each rider progress, build confidence, and discover what they’re capable of.

Our DEVO team (7th–8th grade) practices twice weekly (Tuesday and Thursday evenings). Our High School team (9th–12th grade) practices three times per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings). The season runs from mid-June through October, with races beginning in August and continuing through October.

Each year, more than 200 middle school and high school riders are part of the Wasatch program. Registration typically opens in March and spots fill quickly. Because we are committed to maintaining safe rider-to-coach ratios and a high-quality experience, team size is limited by the number of available volunteer ride leaders.

At our core, this team is about growth. Through consistent training, supportive coaching, and race-day experiences, athletes develop resilience, discipline, and character. They learn how to push through challenges, support their teammates, and represent something bigger than themselves.

We work hard. We show respect - for one another, for our trails, and or the effort it takes to improve. We celebrate progress at every level, from first races to personal bests.

Our goal is simple: help every rider cross the finish line knowing they gave their best effort.

Coaches encourage athletes throughout the course and at the finish, reminding them that success isn’t measured only by placement, it’s measured by perseverance. Here, every rider matters, every effort counts, and every season brings growth.

Guiding Principles

"B >" Be greater than you were yesterday. Be greater than your last ride. Be greater than your last bad moment. Strive to exceed even your own expectations and you'll reach new heights.

Respect Have respect or each other, for those who came before, for those who will come after, for those we meet on the trail, for our surroundings, for ourselves.

I Can Do Hard Things Embracing challenges is essential for growth. It's through facing and overcoming difficulties that we develop resilience and discover our true potential.

Work Hard/Play Hard We strive for peak performance on the trails, yet still embrace every moment of fun and adventure along the way, allowing us to live life to its fullest.

Celebrate Others Celebrating everyone's success and growth, big or small, is central to what we do. Continually cheering for one another makes our team stronger.
