No, you do not have to race but you do need to be a competent bike rider, everyone improves over the season.
Team registartion has two parts, you register with Westonka Community ed and also MCA registration. All athletes need both registartions even if you are not racing. Race registrations are separate from the the team registration. The team registration will be available in April. Race registartion takes please in the Summer.
We need parents to be involved, many become coaches in the MCA system - it is easy to do and that allows you to ride at practice. We also have a team tent and potluck at races so there is a need for all families to be involved.Â
