WANT TO COACH? We’re hiring coaches! (Details)

TEAM KITS: The online store will open on approx. Feb. 7. We’ll send details via email when it opens. General info about kits is here.

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE: We strongly encourage families to contact us about assistance paying for program fees, equipment costs, clothing costs, and racing costs. Finances should never be a reason a family can’t join our team! While some BJC programs sell quickly, we always hold spots open for scholarship candidates. Please contact Executive Director Pete Webber.

Policy on Group Requests: Please do not send requests to be in a certain group. No exceptions. Please do not register if participation is contingent on your rider being in a certain group.

Policy on Carpool Requests: We can’t guarantee that carpool requests will be met. When each season begins, participants are assigned to groups that meet at different rotating locations across Boulder County. When forming these groups we will attempt to meet carpool requests made during the registration process, but it’s impossible for BJC to meet all carpool requests. Please do not register if your participation is contingent on a specific carpool.
