Sponsorship Overview
Teaching Lehigh Valley girls and boys to be healthy, good community members, and self-reliant through the life-long sport of mountain biking
Your Partnership Positively Impacts Local Kids and Families!
Lehigh Valley Composite Youth Mountain Bike Team is about much more than just riding bikes. We teach 6th-12th grade girls and boys to be physically active, engaged with the outdoors, good community members, and self-reliant through the life-long sport of mountain biking. We get kids off the couch and away from their video screens!
Lehigh Valley Composite MTB Team program has grown exponentially — from five kids our first year (2018) to nearly 40 students, including 10 girls plus over 20 certified coaches in 2022!
We believe this is due to our focus on five principles: Adventure, Exploration, Excitement, Friendship, and Fitness. And, most significantly, the fact that EVERY kid on the team participates participates, regardless of skill level.
Our motto “No one sits the bench bench” says it all.
