Active Teams
There are two types of teams.
- School-Based Teams: Comprised of full-time students from the same high-school, public or private. School-based teams can be “official” or “unofficial”.
- Composite Teams: Comprised of full-time students from more than one high-school, charter school, or homeschool within the same district or other geographic proximity. Composite Team Limitations: Composite Teams are intended to be temporary solutions toward building school-based teams. High School students may only score for a composite team that has 5 or fewer students from the same school. If 6 or more students from one school race on a composite team, those students will be scored separately from the rest of the composite team unless a petition to do otherwise is approved.
Here are the 2020 teams so far. If you are interested in volunteering or coaching for a team, contact the team director. If you are interested in starting a new team, contact League Director, Curt Kurz-Edsall at curt@southcarolinamtb.org
