Registering for this team has two components:

  • All student-athletes must register for the TeamMTB program to attend White County High School Mountain Bike Team practices. This year’s enrollment fee is $205*.

  • Student-athletes can also register for the Northside Hospital Race Series. Participation in this race series is optional, and pricing varies based on the date of registration.

Let’s get registered! Here’s how to join:

  1. Email the Team Registration Contact above and let them know you want to register your child. They will provide you with the team passcode needed to complete the registration. They can also answer any questions you may have.

  2. Click here to register. Registration takes about 5-10 minutes and must be completed by a parent or guardian.

  3. Complete all the necessary steps and pay the league enrolment fee and any local team fees. You can also add the race registration at this time. If your child is not sure whether they want to compete in the races, don’t worry. You can always register for the races at a later date**.

  4. Your student-athlete is now ready to practice with their team. Welcome to the Georgia Cycling family!

*Some local teams may charge a team fee in addition to the $205 league fee. Your Team Director can provide you with more information.
**Race registration costs increase closer to the race date. All races have a registration deadline before race weekend; there is no on-site registration for any Georgia Cycling races.


TAKE A TEST RIDE!

We know how important it can be to kids and parents for a student to get some hands-on experience with a team before completing the registration process. That’s why we offer a one-time participation waiver that enables an unregistered rider to take a test ride with a local team.

This waiver can be used for a pre-season ride or an in-season practice, but it may only be used once a year. A waiver is not needed to attend an information meeting.

If this interests you, talk with your Team Director. They can provide you with more details on how to take advantage of this test ride.
