About the team
Modesto Composite High School MTB (Mountain Bike) Race Team (“MoCom”) aka ‘Dust Devils‘ is a mountain biking team comprised of private, public and homeschool junior high and high school student-athletes in grades 6-12 from Modesto, CA and the surrounding area.
The team competes in the NorCal High School Cycling League, a league of the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA). MoCom has club and race team options so that everyone is welcome and everyone rides regardless of ability, skills or experience. The team is managed by a dedicated NICA-licensed staff of coaches who are trained in the skills necessary for providing their student athletes a safe and enjoyable experience. Entering into our fourth season as a NorCal League team, we expect significant program growth in the near future!
Team goals
The team goals of MoCom are simple: ride and race safely, include and value every rider, and have fun! Our coaches are squarely focused on creating a team culture that is welcoming, safe and fun. We strive to teach riders that mountain biking is a life-long activity for good health, to develop a connection to the outdoors and to enjoy nature with their families and friends. While student athletes are learning skills and gaining fitness, MoCom coaches concentrate on teaching students how to respect each other, themselves, the environment, their trails and their communities.
We emphasize teamwork and creating stronger and more confident student athletes both on and off the bike. This is a unique high school team environment. No one is cut; everyone rides and contributes to the team no matter his or her ability level. While racing is not required, students who wish to compete have six opportunities to race all over the NorCal region during the spring race season.
