Program Overview

Move Up Juniors is built for riders who want to learn, improve, race, and have fun doing it with a supportive team around them.

The club runs road, mountain bike, and cyclocross seasons across the year.
Practices focus on skills, fitness, confidence, race craft, and teamwork in age-appropriate settings.
Families receive season-specific schedule, location, and race information during and after signup.
We want junior riders to enjoy the sport while learning how to work toward meaningful goals.

Requirements to Participate

Age Range: Programs are generally designed for riders ages 8-18. Exceptions for younger riders may be considered case by case if they can participate safely.
Club Membership: Junior riders must be part of Move Up Cycling Club to participate. Junior club membership is free using the code shown on the signup page.
Family Support: A parent or guardian should remain available for younger riders and help coaches when needed.
Race-Day Kit: Junior riders who race with Move Up should wear the assigned Move Up jersey at club-supported and USAC race events unless a coach has approved an exception in advance.

Junior Team Benefits

Coaching, mentorship, and encouragement from experienced coaches and veteran athletes.
A performance-minded junior community built around growth, confidence, teamwork, and enjoyment of the sport.
Skills practice and race preparation across road, MTB, and cyclocross seasons.
Support for select race entries through club fundraising and donor support when available.
Junior members do not pay annual club dues before age 19.

Jerseys, Team Representation, and Race-Day Kit

Clear team representation matters, especially on race day.

Junior riders should plan to purchase a Move Up team jersey for race use.
The rose jersey is the standard starting point for junior riders.
Teal jerseys recognize riders who have grown into higher levels of racing performance, leadership, and mentorship within the club.
Coach jerseys are reserved for coaches working in an official coaching role.
If a junior rider is racing with Move Up at a USAC event or a club-supported team event, the assigned Move Up jersey should be worn unless a coach has approved an exception ahead of time.
NICA and other special team situations can be worked through case by case with Coach Kent so representation is clear.
