If you’re in Grades 9-12 in our region, but don’t attend Del Oro, Placer, or Rocklin High Schools, you can join Placer Foothills Composite, our High School Composite team. We’re stoked to have you!

Competition

Interscholastic competition is a cornerstone of our programs. Racing in the team environment helps riders learn empathy, humility, flexibility, and resiliency. Race schedules for each season are posted in December.

Race weekends are true mountain bike fiestas where we all come together to cheer our riders as they challenge themselves to achieve their goals. They get to see that it takes a village to build a successful racer… and put on a successful race.

Racing is required for high school, and optional but strongly encouraged for middle school.

We are part of the NorCal NICA league. There are 4 race weekends during the season, one every 2-3 weeks starting in late February. A final Championships race weekend is in mid-May.

We travel to various locations across Northern California, pre-riding and camping overnight on Friday to be ready for a full day of racing on Saturday.
