The voice of off-road bicyclists

Interscholastic SoCal Cycling League

CORBA is pleased to endorse the Interscholastic SoCal Cycling League (SoCal), a sister organization to the NorCal High School Mountain Bike Racing League (NorCal).

SoCal was established in 2008 to set up an interscholastic cross country mountain biking league for boys and girls in high school.

SoCal has these objectives which CORBA enthusiastically endorses

• Provide students who have the desire to mountain bike with the coaching and camaraderie that will help them achieve both competitive and non-competitive cross-country mountain biking goals in a safe and enjoyable manner
• Develop an awareness of what it is to be an amateur athlete that is both gracious and respectful to their community
• Create an environment in which they may discover new friendships and find role models
• Guide students towards learning new skills and disciplines, and spread the foundations of mountain bike racing across the U.S.
• Foster a responsible attitude toward the use of trails and wilderness
• Promote the value of cycling to our community as a mode of transportation and as a life long sport

High School Mountain Biking League in Action

NorCal (SoCal's older sister organization) has produced the video "Children of the Dirt" to outline their program and how it benefits the kids. SoCal will have similar objectives and approaches and is expected to have the same benefits. Click the image below to view the half-hour video, or view it here.
