About Our Team in 2024
Schools We Represent
The Jordan cross-country mountain bike team consists of students from:
- Jordan High School
- Mount Jordan Middle
- Eastmont Middle School
- Nearby middle schools may also qualify, with League permission
Our Junior Development team includes grades 7–8 and our high school team supports grades 9–12.
Unique Among Sports Teams
Our mountain bike team is unlike other sports teams because:
- Anyone can participate, including those with physical or cognitive disabilities.
- There are no tryouts, no “bench.”
- Ride and/or race regardless of your fitness, endurance, or skill level.
How and Where We Ride
We practice and race on a mix of rough paths, single-track or double-track trails, and "fire roads." Most practices occur in Corner Canyon in Draper during weekdays, then more distant locations on Saturdays. Our team’s activities focus on preparing for and racing at NICA-managed cross-country mountain biking events in the fall. We DO NOT train for or participate in downhill or enduro bike events.
Season Calendar
- Mar: Coach Registration and Training
- Apr: Official online registration and payments
- May: Skills practices begin (once a week)
- Jun–Aug: Regular season practices (3x weekly)
- Aug–Sep/Oct: Continued practices, with races starting in late August and finishing either in September (for middle school) or mid-October (for high school)
About the Utah League
Our team is part of the Utah High School Cycling League, which is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and an affiliate of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). The Jordan MTB Team is also is a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Our sport is not sanctioned by the Utah Board of Education and is independent of the schools we serve. All coaches are unpaid volunteers who are trained and licensed by the program.
Registration Fees
There are fees for 1) the Jordan Team and 2) the Utah League/NICA. In the 2022 season, Jordan Team fees are $300 and cover the cost of bike uniforms (kits). Utah League/NICA fees are $360 for high school riders, $300 for middle school riders (Jr Devos) and cover races and insurance.
Scholarships and other financial support may be available for financially challenged students and families, so please talk to a coach before assuming you can't afford to join!
