MiSCA Race Registration

2025 RMBT RaceR Programs

Club Racing

Club racing is for anyone who wants to race without meeting any particular practice, race, or other attendance requirements. You must enter at least one MiSCA race to be on the race team and attend race team practice after mid-July.

Varsity Racing

Varsity Racing is for students that want to earn a school club letter* for their jacket. Students seeking a club letter MUST treat the race season as they would a varsity sport within their school.

Students racing in our Varsity Program will be rewarded for effort. We realize that it takes years to build fitness and skills levels on the bike and students racing in both the Junior Varsity and Varsity classes are eligible for a club Varsity letter. Students registering to race in JV will be invited to move up to Varsity by coaches based on race performance.

Parents and students will meet at our Varsity Kick Off meeting June 18 and discuss the requirements outlined below and adjustments can be agreed upon and made accordingly. WE WELCOME AND VALUE STUDENT INPUT!!!

Requirements:

Sign and submit an "Intent to Join Varsity Racing Program" letter (blue form) by July 16, 2025
Participate in at least 4 of 6 MiSCA races in the junior varsity or varsity classification
Attend 75% of Monday and Wednesday practices beginning July 16 unless excused by the Head Race Coach (Coach Mike H.) or Team Manager (Coach Laura)
Participate in at least one trail maintenance event
Assist MiSCA with at least one race day setup
Participate in at least one community event

* RMBT will work with out-of-district schools to attain club letter status, but the schools have final say. If we are unable to procure letter status, you will be awarded a team patch acknowledging your accomplishments.

** A club letter in mountain biking is not eligible for a gym credit.

Elite "Wings" Racing

The elite Wings Racing program is for students who want to take their racing to the next level with personalized coaching and additional racing. The goal of the program is to develop racers to be competitive at the MiSCA varsity level.
