Team dues are $315 for the season.  This covers the cost of a team kit (jersey + bib shorts), team insurance, team registration with the league, registration of team coaches with the league, coach training and licensing fees and team equipment purchases. Through sponsors and fundraising, we are able to help keep this cost down. Other gear (kit, gloves, glasses, shoes, helmet, bike) are not included in this cost.

*Families have the option to pay their fees on a payment plan. Please fill out the Season Due Payment Plan and return it with your first payment.

SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

ECHS Racing has created an environment in which all students who want to participate in the rewarding sport of high school mountain biking have the opportunity to do so. Every rider is welcome and supported. Through sponsorships, grants, and donations, we are able to provide financial aid scholarships for team members in need of financial assistance.

  • If you would like to apply for a full scholarship or partial scholarship, please fill out the ECHS MTB Team Scholarship Application
  • If you qualify for a team scholarship, you may also fill out a NorCal / NICA Scholarship Form. The league charges $90 for registration and $50 per races. (NICA fees have not been confirmed for the 2022-23 Season)
