Welcome to the West Michigan Coyotes. We are a Junior MTB racing team of student-athletes Grades K-12 from across West Michigan. In 2017 we started with 17 riders. These days, we have over 100 registered riders! The growth has been staggering and exciting.
Our riders hail from school districts across West Michigan from Allendale to Zeeland, Grand Rapids to Grand Haven, and nearly everywhere in between. Some team members come from as far away as South Bend or Sturgis, Traverse City or Three Rivers, and we think that’s pretty cool too!
We abide by three principles:
- Mountain biking is a great sport for everyone. Starting while you’re young sets you up for a lifetime of fun in the woods.
- Racing is fun, and racing together is even more fun. Our team, while competitive and excited to win state championships (2019, 20, 21, & 22!), really revolves around having a good time on your bike.
- Sportsmanship is contagious.
Our 100% volunteer coaching staff (at all levels) are certified in CPR, First Aid, and MiSCA MTB Coaching. We also all undergo a criminal background check and follow MiSCA’s coaching guidance to ensure your kids enjoy MTB safely.

Stony Creek Race Recap
If you missed this weekend at Stony Creek, let me just say…you missed everything! The Coyotes hit a course that was basically an MTB amusement park on steroids—like, if Disneyland and a rollercoaster had a wild love child that could shred! We’re talking trails so flowy they could make a river jealous, rocks galore that had you questioning whether you were biking or auditioning for Survivor: Boulder Edition, and root drops that made our suspensions beg for a vacation in the Bahamas. Stony Creek threw down the gauntlet, and the Coyotes grabbed it like, “Hold my donut, we got this!”…
