2025 Sun Valley Devo Programs:

High School Race Travel Team and NICA Development Program | $1550

This program will be tailored to high school riders focusing on UCI races,  US Nationals, local (Idaho and Utah) races, and riders preparing for the upcoming NICA season. Riders must adhere to a training plan and participate in three weekly practices. Racing experience, solid MTB skills, and dedication to the sport are required.

The highlighting goal for the high school team is to prepare riders for the spring and summer race series as well as the fall NICA/IICL season. The high school team will be arranged into two or three groups to accommodate the diverse endurance levels, maturities, and skill proficiencies among the participants. These groups will focus on racing techniques, training methodologies, and bicycle handling skills commensurate with the aptitude of each group. Coaches will be assigned to specific cohorts for the duration of the season. They will play a pivotal role in formulating individualized goals for the riders, developing nutrition plans, facilitating race preparation strategies, and providing mentorship throughout the competitive cycle.

NICA Preseason Six-Week Training Program | $575


This structured program is tailored for athletes aspiring to compete in the upcoming NICA fall season. Participants will engage in a six-week regimen, with biweekly mountain biking sessions designed to optimize performance. The curriculum is strategically structured to prepare riders for the Idaho NICA race of the season, while simultaneously building the endurance and skills necessary to excel throughout the fall racing calendar. This program is intended for HS-aged riders.

We strongly advocate for riders not participating in spring and summer competitions to leverage this opportunity to prepare for the fall race season. This proactive approach will enable athletes to reach their peak performance levels, compete with heightened confidence, and cultivate the essential race strategies required to maximize their potential. By engaging in this comprehensive training program, riders will develop the physical stamina, technical proficiency, and mental fortitude crucial for success in the demanding sport of competitive mountain biking.

  • Program dates are June 2 through July 16th

  • Practices will be held Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00 pm.
