Camaraderie Comes Easy Here

Volunteering isn't just good for our community;

it’s life-enhancing!

 

Create bonds and friendships with fellow coaches. Experience personal growth and a sense of community-belonging. And feel good about getting more kids outside, on their bikes and leading healthy lifestyles.

​

No need for mad skills or coaching experience. If you can ride beginner-level trails, you can be an ECYC coach or ride helper.

 

Show up with a positive attitude, and we’ll hook you up with awesome training and a veteran coach to show you the ropes. Plus, you’ll likely be a fitter, better rider by the end of the season!

An Experience Like No Other

We like to keep things interesting. Along with our practices, we throw in a mix of field trips to cool trail systems, urban rides, games, socials, and even a dip in the creek when the weather's right.

​

And we're part of the National Interscholastic Cycling League, participating in their Girls Riding Together, Teen Trail Corps, and NICA Adventure programs, as well as the AMAZING Wisconsin youth race series.

​

We do coach-only activities, too, like group rides, family campouts, brewpub meet-ups, and our end-of-the-season coaches’ party.

​

All of this, plus you get to work with an incredible group of kids and parents and play a direct role in developing the ECYC program for future families.
